This Easy Pumpkin Snickerdoodles Recipe combines the cozy flavors of fall with the irresistible texture of classic snickerdoodles. Perfect for both holiday gatherings and afternoon snacks!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, 1.5 teaspoons of cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar and melted butter. Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining half cup of sugar with half a tablespoon of cinnamon.
Roll the dough into 1.5 inch balls and coat each with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet and flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are set and edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
