Pumpkin Spice Snicker Doodles

by

A halloween favorite dessert are these yummy Pumpkin Spice Snicker Doodles! If you love cinnamon sugar and pumpkin, this dessert is for you! A fun twist on the traditional snicker doodle! We love the bright orange, fall color these cookies turn out to be! So fun and bite sized, they are a great treat to take to your party!

These cookies are some of my favorite because they are so chewy! The trick to this recipe is that the longer you let them cool on the baking sheet, the chewier the cookies get! When storing them, place them in a ziplock baggie, but don’t close it all the way! When you cook with pumpkin puree, the cookies will sweat if they can’t breath, so to avoid a sticky mess, leave the bags open! 
I am a big fan of Halloweeen! I go all out with decorations, treats, and costumes! This year, my husband and I are dressing up as Kim Kardashian and Kayne West! We did a DYI costume and I am excited to see it all come together tonight at our halloween party! What are you dressing up as this year? Tell me in the comments below! 
There are no trick just treats! I love sharing my recipes with all of you that are my favorite holiday treats! You can find more festive menu items like my Stuffed Butternut Squash,
