Sugar and spice aren't the only things nice in this version of the beloved snickerdoodle: We added pumpkin puree. Besides infusing the cookies with seasonal flavor, it also results in a moist, cakey center. Rolling the dough in spiced sanding sugar lends sparkle and shine.

Time 1h30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
¾ cup pumpkin puree
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon allspice

Steps:

Beat shortening, 1 cup white sugar, and light brown sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in pumpkin puree; beat in eggs and vanilla extract.

Tips:

Using a hand mixer: If you don't have a stand mixer, you can use a hand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar. Just be sure to use a low speed so that you don't overbeat the mixture.
Don't overmix the dough: Once you've added the flour, mix the dough just until it comes together. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and just set in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool completely: Once the cookies are baked, let them cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and texture.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for fall. With their soft and chewy texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and festive appearance, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
