Ingredients
Snickerdoodles
- 2 ¾ cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg

Snickerdoodles
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar.
- Add egg and egg yolk and beat until incorporated.
- Now, add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Mix until combined.
Cinnamon Sugar
- In a small bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon.
- Using a 1 ½ inch cookie scoop, roll dough into balls, roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until edges start to brown.
- Remove from the oven, let cool on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
Notes
- Add more spice: If you really love warm fall spices, add a little extra pumpkin pie spice to the dough.
- Try a thicker coating: Roll each cookie dough ball generously in the cinnamon sugar for an extra sweet, spiced crust.
- Make smaller cookies: Use a smaller scoop and keep an eye on the baking time since smaller cookies may bake more quickly.
- Add white chocolate: A handful of white chocolate chips would add a creamy sweetness that pairs nicely with the pumpkin spice.
- Add chopped nuts: Chopped pecans or walnuts would give the cookies a little crunch.
- Use a fall spice blend: If you have a favorite homemade pumpkin spice blend, you can use that in place of store-bought pumpkin pie spice
- .Make them extra cinnamon-y: Increase the cinnamon in the coating if you want even more cinnamon flavor.
- Turn them into sandwich cookies: Once cooled, sandwich two cookies together with a simple sweet filling for a fun dessert.
