Soft and chewy pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies coated in cinnamon sugar. These fall cookies are perfect for holiday baking and cookie exchanges.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, for rolling
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon for rolling.
  7. Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls. Then, roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • These cookies freeze well. Place cooled cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
