Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
- Prepare the cinnamon-sugar coating by mixing together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form balls of dough and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart, and gently flatten the tops.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Once cooled, enjoy these delectable pumpkin spice snickerdoodles with a warm cup of cider or your favorite coffee as the perfect way to celebrate the season. Happy baking!
