Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 7 tablespoons pumpkin purée
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups flour, unbleached white or gluten free
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground Ras el Hanout
For Rolling
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon Toast Spice
Instructions
- Whisk together the melted butter and sugars in a medium bowl. Add the pumpkin purée and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
- In a large bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients for the cookie dough and make a well in the center. Pour in the pumpkin mixture and stir until the flour is incorporated. Don't over-mix!
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. At this point the dough can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a shallow dish, combine the sugar and Cinnamon Toast Spice for rolling.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Scoop out 1 slightly rounded tablespoon of dough for each cookie, roll the dough into a ball and then roll it into the sugar and Cinnamon Toast Spice mixture. Arrange the cookies on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten them slightly and bake 8-10 minutes until they are puffed and slightly golden.
- Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow to cool 10 minutes on a wire rack. Then remove the cookies from the pans and enjoy!
Many thanks to Erin at Well-Plated for the excellent recipe! We’ve barely adapted it here to make the cookies just a little bit smaller, and switched up the spice. The texture of these pillowy poufs is amazing and they are a snap to make.
