I just finished baking over 28 dozen cookies for an event a friend is organizing, and I am very tired!! It was a lot of fun though…I just love baking goodies!
One of the recipes I made is Pumpkin Snickerdoodles. I can not remember where I got the recipe, but it was from a blogger. I want to give credit, but unfortunately, my brain isn’t letting me think very clearly right now!
These cookies are just delicious! I just changed 2 ingredients. I used shortening instead of butter, and I used 1-1/2 tsp. of Pumpkin Mix (https://cookbookexperiment.wordpress.com/2012/11/09/pumpkin-spice-mix/) with the sugar to roll the cookies in instead of the cinnamon, ginger, and allspice.
3-3/4 c. flour
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmet
1 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. pumpkin puree
1 large egg
2 tsp. vanilla
For the coating:
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ginger
dash of allspice
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and mutmeg. In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter and sugars on medium-high speed for about 2-3 minutes. Blend in pumpkin puree. Beat in egg and vanilla until incorporated. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
Combine the sugar and spices for the coating. Scoop the dough into balls and roll the balls in the sugar mixture. Place on baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes. Cool completely on wire racks. Makes between 4-6 dozen, depending on how large you make your balls.
*The flavor deepens with time, so they’re even tastier the following day!
