Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies

Pumpkin Snickerdoodle’s might be my new favorite cookie! The yummy Cinnamon Sugar coating on the outside, with the gooey White Chocolate Chips all around and the yummy taste of the Pumpkin Purée makes this perfectly soft cookie so delicious!

Serving Size 12 Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 tbsp pumpkin purée
  • 1 1/2 cup of flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

For the coating

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Stir the melted butter, brown sugar and sugar together in a small/medium bowl until no brown sugar lumps remain. Stir in the vanilla and blotted pumpkin until smooth. Set aside.
  • in another bowl, Whisk the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice together in a large bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together with a rubber spoon. Fold in 1/2 cup white chocolate chips.
  • Cover the dough and chill for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours. Chilling the dough is a must for this.
  • Remove dough from the fridge and preheat the oven to 350° and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon for the coating and set aside
  • Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of the dough out and roll into a ball. Roll around in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated. Place on the baking sheet and using the palm of your hand or the bottom of a measuring cup flatten the cookie slightly, they might not spread if you don’t. Repeat leaving 3 inches in between the cookies.
  • Bake for 10-11 minutes or until the edges seem set. The cookies will seem soft in the middle. This next part is optional, if you want them to look even more pretty you can place chocolate chips into the cookies slightly, i take the pointy side of the chips and slightly stick them into the cookie right after they come out the oven.

Notes

  • Keep in an airtight container on the counter for a week.
  • To remove excess moisture from the pumpkin puree, simply place the required amount on a stack of paper towels. Gently pat it dry with additional paper towels. Use a spoon to scoop it off the paper towels.
  • If the dough feels a bit too firm when coming out of the fridge, no worries! Just give it a few extra minutes to soften up a bit.
