Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Coating

• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Add Pumpkin and Egg: Mix in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.

Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Prepare Coating: In a small bowl, mix together the 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.

Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.

Place on Baking Sheet: Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked. The cookies will look soft in the center.

Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy: Enjoy your pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies with a cup of tea or coffee, perfect for fall!
