Super quick post for the day.
These Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies are packed with pumpkin spice, pumpkin caramel and coated in cinnamon sugar. The Pumpkin puree made into pumpkin caramel keeps these cookies more crisp than regular pumpkin puree. Make some for the holiday season!
My sinuses are still killing me. I cannot wait for this thunderstorm weather to be over. Short posts till then.

These are super tasty– YUM!!
These cookies tasted pretty good, but turned out nothing like those pictured here. They didn’t spread out at all and were more like little cakes than cookies.
i mentioned in the comment about the pumpkin caramel, that the moisture in the caramel will affect the cookie. There isnt much fat in the cookies for them to spread. They should rise and increase in size slightly on baking. Depending on the caramel, the texture will settle after a cooling a bit. It can be anywhere from muffin like cakey to soft cookie (lightly cakey).
What is PUMPKIN CARAMEL!? I was going to make these for my family and just about to go buy ingredients… but I have no idea what pumpkin caramel is and can’t find info anywhere! HELP!

These pumpkin snickerdoodles look out of this world good, Richa 🙂 I love the fork imprints on top – so rustic looking! Hope you feel better and happy thanksgiving!
I bet this is so good! These flavors are perfection!
These sound great. Unlike Starbucks pumpkin spice junk, these even have some pumpkin in them!
Hope your sinuses clear soon. Does spicy food help open them up?
thanks Ellen. yes these do have pumpkin in them!
nope nothing works on my sinuses. its inflammation mainly and some congestion and nothing changes with the usual things i have tried, acv shots, chili shots, humidifier. ugh.
Wow, what a great idea combining these two amazing holiday flavors! Definitely pinning to try soon 🙂
These look great Richa!
