  4. Once the wet ingredients are all mixed together, add in the flour mixture to form a sticky dough.
  5. Then cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

  7. With two tablespoons of dough, form a ball by rolling it in your hands.
  8. Roll the dough into the cinnamon sugar until it is fully coated
  9. Place the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave about 1 1/2 inches of space between each ball of dough.

  11. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool to your desired temperature.

Cinnamon Sugar

  1. Make the cinnamon sugar by mixing the granulated sugar and cinnamon until combined.

Notes

  • Place rolled cookies back in the fridge ​while you wait to put them in the oven so they don’t get too soft.
  • Allow cookies to sit on the hot pan ​for five minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack will help the cookies set properly.
  • Store cooked pumpkin snickerdoodles in a an airtight container ​at room temperature for up to five days.
  • Freeze baked pumpkin cookies ​in a freezer-safe container for up to three months.
  • Freeze formed dough balls (that have not been tossed in cinnamon sugar) ​in a freezer-safe container for up to three months. Then when you’re ready to bake, remove from the freezer and allow the cookie dough to come to room temperature. Roll in sugar and bake as directed.
  • Ingredient Notes:
  • Canned pumpkin puree/pure pumpkin or homemade can be used, do not use pumpkin pie filling
  • Light or dark brown sugar can be used, dark will give the cookies a richer flavor
  • Substitute pumpkin pie spice with a 1/4 tsp each of nutmeg, ground cloves, and allspice if necessary. 
  • Cream of tarter can be replaced with two teaspoons of lemon juice if necessary.
