Pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies are a personal favorite of mine. The fall season is officially upon us. Very specific flavors come to mind when we think about the cold months. Pumpkin and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg are probably the first the flavors you think of once the leaves start to turn colors.
These Pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies are packed with all of those flavors, making them the perfect cookies to bake once the weather starts to turn. Bring a batch of these with you to your next holiday event and amaze your family.
I’ve always loved pumpkin flavored desserts. So if you’re a pumpkin lover like me, I promise you won’t be able to get enough of these pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies.

What you’ll need
- Two mixing bowls

Recipe:
Step 1
Use paper towels to blot moisture out of pumpkin puree. I know it sounds strange but all that extra moisture in the pumpkin puree will ruin the cookies.
Step 2
Combine flour, salt, baking powder, ground clove, all spice, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Step 3
Combine butter, sugar, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon roll emulsion in a separate mixing bowl.
Step 4
Stir both mixtures together and chill cookie dough for ten minutes.
Step 5
Prepare cinnamon sugar; mix cinnamon and sugar together.
Step 6
Use cookie scoop to from cookie (each cookie should have about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough). Cover cookies in sugar then place on a cookie line with parchment paper or a cookie sheet. Make sure cookies are at least two inches apart.
Step 7
Pre heat oven to 350; bake cookies for 11 to 13 minutes. Allow cookies to cool and enjoy!
