Print Recipe

These soft, chewy pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies are a quick and easy autumn treat made with just six core ingredients. They feature a tender crumb, cinnamon-sugar coating, and stay moist for days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 1 Large Egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree (100% pure, not pie filling)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons Coarse or Granulated Sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Beat in the egg and pumpkin puree until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or stirring with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Scoop out about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll into balls.
  7. Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small shallow bowl. Roll each dough ball in the mixture until fully coated.
  8. Place cookies on prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between them for spreading.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be set, but centers should look slightly soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overbake; cookies will firm up as they cool. For best results, spoon flour into measuring cups rather than scooping. If dough is too soft, chill for 15-20 minutes. Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain softness.
