Pumpkin Snickerdoodles {Recipe & Video}

August 21, 2019 by Melissa 24 Comments

Pumpkin Snickerdoodles – melt in your mouth pumpkin cookies rolled in a combination of sugar and pumpkin pie spice. This is the perfect pumpkin cookie recipe!

Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodle cookies are a family favorite, and these Pumpkin Snickerdoodles are the perfect way to kick-off the season of all things pumpkin spice. These cookies got rave reviews from both my husband and my kids. My husband said they were just the perfect amount of pumpkin and my kids LOVED the way they smelled baking! Tender and soft, Pumpkin Snickerdoodles are rolled in a combination of pumpkin pie spice and sugar for the perfect crispy and chewy outside. If you like snickerdoodles and all things pumpkin spice, you are going to love these cookies!

How to Make Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

  1. This recipe is slightly different than making traditional cookies in that you are not going to combine the sugar and butter for the first step.
  2. Mix the softened butter, then combine with sugar, pumpkin, vanilla extract, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
  3. Stir in the egg, followed by the flour. Then it’s time to chill.
  4. The dough will be very soft, so it will need to chill for at least two hours.
  5. Once the dough has firmed up, it’s time to scoop.
  6. Gently roll the dough into a ball and coat in cinnamon sugar mixture.
  7. Place on a baking sheet lined with a Silpat silicone liner or parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. If you are using dark colored baking sheets, you may need to shorten the baking time.

    Hi there,

    Do you think we can let the dough chill for a day? If a made the batter one night, then baked them the day after, do you think that would be okay? Thanks!

    I love the pumpkin snickerdoodles! But I was wondering if you think it would work to add some cream of tartar. I missed the traditional snickerdoodle taste that provides.

      If you’d doubled the recipe, and made sure the dough was chilled for long enough, I think the dough could’ve been saved. What did you end up doing?
