    Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodles Cookie Recipe

    Published: Oct 1, 2019 · Modified: Nov 1, 2019 by Christina Dennis · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 28 Comments

    Snickerdoodles get a seasonal spin with the addition of homemade pumpkin spice mix right in the batter! These cookies are chewy, flavourful, and the perfect Fall and Winter baked treat.

    This project is part of the Seasonal Simplicity blog hop hosted by The Happy Housie, so after you read my post make sure to see all of the other delicious Fall recipes linked at the bottom!

    There's nothing quite like snickerdoodles - not only are they fun to say (my girls think the word's hilarious!), but they're delicious to eat. The crunchy cinnamon-sugar coating, the soft and chewy center, the buttery taste... YUM!

    Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodles Cookie Recipe

    Recently, my mom had to bake dozens of cookies for a wedding, and she reported that the most popular ones were the snickerdoodles. She also reported that she tried using lard in her cookies instead of butter, and the result was an amazingly textured cookie. I decided to give both snickerdoodles and lard a try for this recipe today!

    Another update to the humble snickerdoodle? The addition of homemade pumpkin spice mix to the batter itself. It gives these cookies a bit of a spicy kick so that they taste a little like a gingerbread cookie, but still much milder and sweeter.

    Ready to bake? Here's the Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodle recipe! This recipe makes at least 4 dozen cookies, so it's perfect for freezing half the cookies to save for the holiday season.

      Snickerdoodles sounds interesting right! Cookies are a must have in our home especially now that we are still in quarantine. I need to find ways and new delightful dessert to serve to my family and this one is top on my list. It gets the flavor of the pumpkin.
