I’ve officially surrendered to Autumn and all things sweaters, bonfires and pumpkin spice. These melt-in-your-mouth cookie sure made the transition easy. They have christened the start of my Autumn baking with a bang, and I’ve been a pumpkin spice baking lunatic!  Pumpkin cupcakes anyone?

How to Make The BEST Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodles

  • CHILL THE DOUGH! This step is not even an option. You MUST chill the dough to get it to firm up. I always chill overnight, but a good 8 hours should do the trick. Chilling the dough helps with the texture, but it will also increase the pumpkin flavor while it sits in the fridge!
  • DON’T OVERBAKE. To get that super soft, chewy, melt-in-your-mouth texture, I bake these cookies for 8-9 minutes. I then let then sit on the hot pan for 2-3 minutes. They will finish cooking on the pan, and the texture will be ridiculous!!
