Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe
A Delicious Fall Treat
The other day I was telling you that my two favorite flavors for fall were candy corn, like the Candy Corn Popcorn Recipe I shared last week, and pumpkin spice. Well, pumpkin spice has taken the ultimate form in these over the top delicious pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies! To say these cookies are yummy is a total understatement!
I mean….any cookie that gets dipped into Godiva chocolate has to be AMAZING….right?! Well, okay, I’m guess a cookie made of spinach dipped in chocolate wouldn’t be all that great….but these Pumpkin Snickerdoodle cookies are FABULOUS!
There’s just something so homey about snickerdoodle cookies…especially during the holidays…I mean they are pretty much a holiday staple. But, by just adding pumpkin you can start incorporating them into the holidays even sooner. These are the perfect little treat to make with a nice hot cup of coffee and eat while snuggling under a blanket reading a good book…..ah….that’s heaven for a busy mom of two!
