Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

Xexe's Note:

New twist on snickerdoodles from dlynz.com. sounds incredible. the yield is a guess.

• Total Time: 44 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 14 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 8

Yield: 2.0 dozen

• 8 ounces butter , softened
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• ¾ cup canned pumpkin
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ teaspoon allspice

Directions:

1. Cream butter until fluffy.
2. Add granulated sugar and pumpkin, and beat well.
3. Add baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract and egg and beat until well mixed.
4. Beat in all purpose flour, little bit at a time.
5. Preheat oven to 350*.
6. Cover dough with plastic and chill very well.
7. Before removing the dough from the fridge, in a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger.
8. Working quickly, use a medium cookie scoop to form 2-teaspoon sized balls. Roll between your palms until uniform and then roll in the sugar mixture.
9. Place 2 inches apart on a greased or parchment or silpat lined baking sheet.
10. Once you have rolled all the cookies in the sugar once, start back at the beginning and roll them all a second time – this really increases the nice sugary crispiness on the baked cookies. Trust me here – it is worth doing.
11. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes, until they are very well browned. Remove immediately to a wire rack and cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

[Rollin in the Dough!]

These baked up beautifully and had awesome texture. I loved eating the dough! I too wish that the pumpkin flavor was a little stronger but all in all a great cookie! Thanks

I made this for the My-3-Chefs Event, Theme Pumpkin Cookies. Xexe was an Undiscovered Chef. This was the first of the three pumpkin cookie recipes I made. I love snickerdoodles. The cookies had a great texture, the sugar was crispy on the outside, and they tasted great! Unfortunately, there was little pumpkin flavor. As a snickerdoodle cookie, though, these rocked! The recipe actually yielded 4 dozen cookies. Thanks for posting, Xexe
