Note: Most Snickerdoodle recipes call for cream of tartar. I do not use cream of tartar in this recipe. Instead, I use baking soda and the cookies turn out amazing every single time.

How Long Does It Take To Make Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodle Cookies?

It should take approximately 20 minutes to gather ingredients and mix up the cookie dough. Add an additional 30 minutes for the dough to chill in the refrigerator. Or, you can mix up the cookie dough the night before and store the dough in the refrigerator overnight.

It takes about 10-16 minutes (according to cookie size) baking time per cookie sheet. 

 How To Store Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodle Cookies

Store the cookies in an air-tight container in your fridge or on the kitchen counter for up to seven days. 

Tips For Making These Cookies

1. Gather all ingredients and prepare pans ahead of time.
2. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature.
3. A level cookie scoop will make a regular size cookie and a level ice cream scoop will make a large cookie.
4. Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheets to complete baking.

You Can Use A Tablespoon Cookie Scoop or Go Bigger

This is what the cookies look like once they are baked.

Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodle Cookies

Print

Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodle Cookies are soft, thick and have the best pumpkin spice flavor.

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 12 minutes

Additional Time 30 minutes

Total Time 1 hour 2 minutes

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Rolling Sugar

• 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 Tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, add butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. With a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together for two minutes on high speed. Add vanilla, pumpkin puree, and egg and beat for one minute on medium-high.

In a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk together.

Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Mix on low speed until just incorporated.

Place batter in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) to let the dough rest.

To make the rolling sugar: In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, granulated sugar, and pumpkin pie spice.

Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. With a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop cookie dough and form it into balls. Roll in the sugar mixture and place on a cookie sheet, pressing down slightly. If using a tablespoon, bake cookies for 10-12 minutes. If using an ice cream scoop, bake for 14-16 minutes.

Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

Notes

You can use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to form the cookie dough balls before baking. If you want to make oversized cookies, use an ice cream scoop and bake the cookies longer (about 14-16 minutes).

Snickerdoodle Cookies are done when the edges are golden brown and the top is slightly cracked.
