Most people love a good snickerdoodle... well that's never been a favorite of mine and one day was thinking... (I know, look out, Wendy's thinking again!) But this time came to a wonderful result! And now this cookie is one of my most requested best sellers!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We love snickerdoodle cookies and this is a nice twist on a classic cookie. Adding pumpkin spice instead of cinnamon is pure genius and gives the cookie a fall feel. This pumpkin pie snickerdoodle is slightly crisp on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Yum!

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening, I use butter flavor Crisco
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

How To Make pumpkin spice snickerdoodles

Step 1

Cream together butter, shortening and sugar until fluffy.

Step 2

Add egg and mix well.
Step 3

Sift together then add flour, tartar, soda, salt, 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice.
Step 4

Blend well. It may seem crumbly but it will come together into a nice dough (just takes a few minutes sometimes).
Step 5

Mix the 1/2 c of sugar with 1 Tbsp of pumpkin pie spice in a bowl and set aside for rolling dough balls in. Amount of sugar to spice just depends on your liking. Start with 1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice for the first pan, if you'd like more spice add more to the sugar.
Step 6

Roll dough into 1 1/2" balls or walnut size.
Step 7

Then roll in sugar and spice mixture.
Step 8

Place on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass.
Step 9

Bake at 375 for 9-11 minutes.
Step 10

Remove from pan right away to cool on wire racks.
Step 11

*This is one of those cookies that is best right out of the oven (as is any cookie, lol) or after being stored in an airtight container a few hours. ENJOY!!!
