Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

The traditional flavors of snickerdoodles with the addition of pumpkin seem like it should have been this way all along. So tasty.

Ingredients
 

For the cookies:

  • 1 cup salted butter, at room temperature, 2 sticks
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
  • 3/4 cups pure unsweetened pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp pumpkin spice

For the topping

  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 3 tsp pumpkin spice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. 
  • Beat the butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the pumpkin, egg, and vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated. 
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 3/4 tsp pumpkin spice and add the mixture gradually to the butter/sugar mixture until it comes together. 
  • Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour, or until hard enough to work with. 
  • Combine the remaining half cup of sugar and 3 tsp pumpkin spice. 
  • Form dough into balls and roll into the sugar/pumpkin spice mixture. Arrange balls on a parchment lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just golden on the edges. Remove cookies to cooling racks.
