The Best Soft & Chewy Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1-2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (depending on how spicy you like it)
  • 2 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

FOR ROLLING

  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 3 tsp. cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a bowl combine butter and sugars and cream together for 30 seconds or until combined.  Add in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree, beat until combined.  Lastly, add in cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, cornstarch, baking soda and flour, combine together until a soft dough forms.

  2. Refrigerate the dough covered for at least 2 hours or until sufficiently chilled.  Chilling is mandatory.

  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a small bowl whisk together flour and cinnamon.  In Tbsp sized portions, roll dough and place in sugar mixture until covered.  Place on cookie sheet covered in parchment paper.

  4. Bake for approximately 8-10 minutes.  Cool completely before serving and enjoy

ADULT TASKS: I made and chilled the dough in advance and just let the kids do the rolling, sugar and cookie sheet part, but you could easily have the kiddos make the dough.

KID TASKS: Roll dough into balls, place in sugar until completely covered, put on cookie sheet.
