Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

As I mentioned in the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie post, I LOVE PUMPKIN!  So in continuing with that theme, my wife saw pumpkin snickerdoodles somewhere and suggested I make some.  so I did.  And it was a brilliant idea.  This is a great twist on an already awesome cookie.

Here is what you’ll need to make them.

Ingredients:

Add the butter to your mixer and mix it all up

add 1 1/2 cup sugar

add 1/2 cup brown sugar

mix it all up

add 3/4 cup pumpkin

add 1 egg

add 2 tsp. vanilla extract.  Mix it all up and grab a bowl to mix all your dry ingredients

In a big bowl add your 2 3/4 cups flour.  Add 1 teaspoon baking soda

add 1/2 teaspoon salt

add 1 teaspoon cinnamon

add 2 teaspoons cream of tartar

Mix all this stuff together and add it to your mixture in your mixer.

You will have this wonderful dough mixture that you can’t do anything with yet.

Cover it and throw it in the fridge for an hour.  You can also make this ahead of time and keep in the fridge for a few days or freeze it even if you need want to have some cookies at a later date.

While the dough is in the fridge we can make the coating for the cookeis.  Grab a bowl and throw in a 1/4 cup of sugar

add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon

add 1/2 teaspoon all spice

add 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

And mix it all up into this awesome mixture.

When the dough is ready wash your hands and get rolling.   Make up some balls of dough and throw them in the coating and mix it up.  Preheat your oven to 350 at this time too.

Throw them on the baking sheet and smush them down with a flat surface.   A glass works great

Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes

and you will end up with THE perfect fall time cookies.  These also make the house smell amazing.

If you are looking for something new to make for Thanksgiving this year, this is it.

Enjoy these cookies.  This is what Thanksgiving is all about.
