Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
These cookies are so delicious with epic pumpkin flavor combined with the cinnamon sugar goodness of a snickerdoodle cookie.
One of the things we love about this recipe is how easy it is to adapt the pre-mixed snickerdoodle cookie mix. You can skip measuring out the baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and other dry ingredients and just use the pre-made mix.
I am all in for anything that saves time and makes life just a little easier. This time of year is so busy as we ramp up to the holidays we all need a little time-saving.
It is hard to believe we are not on the countdown to Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I still can't believe how fast this year has flown by.
I love the chewiness of these pumpkin cookies.
Ingredients needed
- Snickerdoodle Cookie Mix
- Butter
- Egg
- All Purpose Flour
- Pumpkin Pie Spice
- Canned Pumpkin
Optional - White chocolate chips, flavored chips
Snickerdoodle Cookie Mix - if you can't find a snickerdoodle mix you can use a sugar cookie mix and prepare a bowl of cinnamon sugar to dip the dough balls in.
Canned Pumpkin - You want to use canned pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix.
Equipment Needed
Large Mixing Bowl - We are big fans of this glass batter bowl that has a handle. It makes it easy to mix ingredients and keeps the mixing bowl steady on the counter.
Hand Mixer/Stand Mixer - You can mix this with either a hand mixer or your stand mixer. These can also be mixed with a whisk/spoon but it is a pretty thick dough.
Cookie Scoop - A medium cookie scoop makes it so easy to get consistent cookies that all look great together.
Parchment Paper - I love that I can use parchment paper to help make it easier to remove the pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies. They also make clean-up a breeze. If you are not using parchment paper you will want to spray non-stick cooking spray on your baking sheet to help the cookies not stick.
Baking Sheets - We are huge fans of these baking sheets with sides. You don't have to worry; you will remove the cookies from the oven and have them slide right off.
Heat resistant potholders - A couple of years ago we had a fire scare when we didn't realize we had turned a burner on and a cloth potholder caught fire. Thankfully we walked by the kitchen and saw the smoke and were able to get it out ourselves. Since then we have only used these heat-resistant potholders.
Cooling Rack - A cooling rack is a great way to cool the cookies down.
How to make Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies
Preheat the oven.
Step 1 - Open the Snickerdoodle cookie mix and remove the cinnamon sugar packet and set to the side. We will use it later to coat the outside of the cookie dough balls.
Step 2 - In a Large Mixing Bowl combine snickerdoodle cookie mix, butter, egg, water, flour, pumpkin pie spices, and canned pumpkin until a soft dough forms. Scrape sides of the bowl to mix all ingredients.
Step 3 - Cover and chill for at least 15 minutes so the cookie dough is firm.
Step 4 - Pour cinnamon granulated sugar mixture into a medium bowl large enough for the cookie dough to fit. Use a cookie scoop to scoop cookie dough balls.
Roll dough ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture then place on a parchment lined Baking Sheets
Step 5- Bake until the edges are set. The middle will still look soft. Cool on a wire rack.
Store in an air tight container at room temperature

The cookies will look soft when they first come out of the oven but will firm up as they cool in a cooling rack.
