Print Recipe

Soft, spiced pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies ready in just 15 minutes. A quick and easy fall treat with a crackly cinnamon-sugar coating.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the coating; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  4. Beat in pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  6. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing on low until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Scoop dough by 1.5-tablespoon portions, roll into balls, then coat in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. Place coated dough balls on prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each to about 1/2-inch thickness.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and tops are cracked. Centers will still look soft.
  10. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not skip the cream of tartar—it gives the classic snickerdoodle tang. For softer cookies, bake 10 minutes; for crispier edges, bake 12 minutes. If dough is too sticky, chill 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
