Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies

These are the fluffiest pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies you could ever make! The cookies have the perfect amount of taste of pumpkin and snickerdoodle. They make the perfect sweet treat to have on a cozy fall night with your family and friends or even just for you! This recipe makes about 20-24 pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies and stay fresh for about 2 weeks. Scroll down below to find the recipe!

Small Note: These Pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies do need to sit in the fridge for a while before baking! The dough will be very stick if you do not and can cause the cookies to mush all together when baking in the oven. I do suggest to set aside two hours before baking them in the oven. The longer the better, but if you are impaintent like I am you can also just put the dough in the freezer for 30-45 minutes and I have had them still come out perfect! If they do mush together after the first batch put the dough back in and let sit there for a while!
