These chewy pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies combine the classic cinnamon sugar coating with moist pumpkin puree for a soft, flavorful fall treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups (345 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, plus extra for coating
  • ¾ cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¼ cups (250 grams) granulated sugar, divided
  • ½ cup (120 grams) pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, cream softened butter with 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until fully incorporated, forming a soft, pliable dough.
  6. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar with 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon for coating.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop dough balls about 1 ½ tablespoons (approx. 20 grams) each.
  8. Roll each dough ball first in the cinnamon sugar mixture, flatten slightly with your palm, then roll again to coat thoroughly.
  9. Place cookies 2 inches apart on baking sheets and bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.
  10. Let cookies rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For chewier cookies, do not overbake; remove when edges are set but centers look soft. Chill dough for 30 minutes if cookies spread too much. Use room temperature ingredients for best texture. Double rolling in cinnamon sugar creates a crackled crust. Oven temperatures vary; use an oven thermometer if possible.
