Once the temps start to drop and Oct 1st rolls around, it’s pumpkin everything in my house. I’ve found it’s best to stick with plain ol’ canned pumpkin. Skip the pumpkin pie filling and just use simple canned pumpkin. Or if you’re feeling really adventurous you can make your own pureed pumpkin.

This Pumpkin Spice Cookie Recipe makes the most delicious pumpkin cookie. Plan ahead because the dough needs to chill a little before it gets a little roll around in the cinnamon sugar and baked. Don’t skip this step, otherwise the cookies will spread out too much when baking. And if it’s going to take more than bake cycle, pop the bowl of dough back into the fridge while one pan is baking to keep the dough nice and chilled.

I’ve nicknamed these Pumpkin Spice Cookies, Pumpkindoodles. I don’t even know if that’s a real thing, but it totally should be. And that’s just what they taste like. Like a snickerdoodle with lots of yummy pumpkin.

Tips for the Perfect Pumpkin Spice Cookie Recipe

  • Use pure canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Keep the dough chilled.
  • Don’t over bake the cookies, the cookies should be still very soft but set up on the sides and top.
  • Switching to gluten free and dairy free for this recipe is easy and just as delicious.
  • Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving to a cooling rack.
  • These cookies would even be delicious with some leftover mashed sweet potatoes instead of pumpkin.

    Snickerdoodles are one of our favorites, and I bet this pumpkin variation is scrumptious! Definitely going to try them!

    The instructions says 1 1/2 cup sugar but in the ingredients list is only says 1/2 cup can you double check the quantities to make sure which is the correct. and that nothing else is wrong

    These sound really good, don’t want to mess them up

      Hi Skye, The ingredient also lists 1 1/2 cups sugar, but some reason it’s not showing on the recipe card. Thanks for letting me know…I just switched recipe card programs and I’m having a few technical issues. Everything seems to be showing correctly for the recipe.
