Pumpkin Pie Snickerdoodles

There’s nothing quite like a Snickerdoodle. I mean, really! What other cookie is both fun to say and fabulous to eat?? Snickerdoodles are a great cookie to have the kiddos help with and make the perfect after-school snack.

I knew about 6 months ago that I wanted to make a Pumpkin Pie Snickerdoodle for the Fall. I used my Totally Addicting Snickerdoodles recipe as a jumping-off point and used a few tricks to keep the Snickerdoodles as chewy and delicious as they should be.

Everything Snickerdoodle

I’m a huge fan of snickerdoodles which is why I have so many recipes for them on my site:

You Forgot the Egg!

You’ll probably look at the recipe below and assume that I forgot one crucial ingredient – eggs! But I didn’t 🙂

The pumpkin replaces the eggs in this recipe entirely. I tried eliminating just one egg from my favorite Snickerdoodle recipe but the texture just wasn’t quite right. Eliminating both eggs and upping the pumpkin content gave me both the flavor and texture I was looking for.

For the Love of Snickerdoodles

It wasn’t until a few years ago that I really fell in love with Snickerdoodles but they quickly became a family favorite. The boys, particularly Reece, LOVE Snickerdoodles and these Pumpkin Pie Snickerdoodles exceeded their high expectations.

The mellow pumpkin flavor is nicely accented with pumpkin pie spice. Instead of rolling the cookies in just sugar and cinnamon, I added some pumpkin pie spice to both the sugar-cinnamon mixture as well as to the cookie itself. I love that punch of spice in these cookies!
