Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

Soft pumpkin snickerdoodles cookies recipe that is easy to throw together and tastes amazing.  Soft and chewy with a slightly crispy top.

I was looking for a new pumpkin cookie recipe to try out, and stumbled upon pumpkin snickerdoodles.  I did not know these even existed until a few days ago.

Usually when I want pumpkin cookies at the beginning of Fall, I make my go to recipe, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, but I wanted a different taste this time.

I had all of the ingredients needed for pumpkin snickerdoodles, so decided to give it a shot.  Turns out pumpkin dough rolled in cinnamon, sugar and pumpkin spice, is most definitely a good idea.  Duh.  How did I not think of this earlier?

These are soft and chewy pumpkin snickerdoodles with a slightly crispy top.

Tips for these pumpkin spice snickerdoodles:

1. Definitely chill the dough for two hours.  It is much easier to roll into dough balls once is hardened a bit in the fridge.
2. Cook the cookies until they are slightly browned on the edges and a touch crispy on top.
3. After cooling for a few minutes on baking sheet, move the cookies to a wire rack for at least ten minutes to give them time to settle.

I love cookies that are soft, chewy and taste great with a cup of tea or a cold glass of milk.  These fit the bill, plus, they're perfect for Fall.
