For years, this recipe has been a hit on the blog, and for good reason. It’s easy, and you don’t even need a mixer (yay!). There is some freezing that needs to be done, so be patient. But this cookie recipe is seriously worth the wait!
A lot of pumpkin cookies turn out cake, but I made sure that my pumpkin snickerdoodles were just the right amount of soft and chewy. It will be hard not to eat one and then another and another I always tell people to make two batches just in case.

FAQ
Q1. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
It’s fine to chill your cookie dough for longer than the 45 minutes that is suggested. I’ve made pumpkin snickerdoodle dough up to three days ahead of time. Just make sure it stays tightly covered in the fridge. If you let the dough chill for more than 45 minutes and still can’t get it out of the bowl, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
Q2. Can I freeze the dough?
Yes, for sure! Before rolling the balls in cinnamon sugar, you can freeze them on a cookie sheet. Then, you can put them in a sealed bag or container and make pumpkin snickerdoodles whenever you want.
Q3. Can I make pumpkin snickerdoodles without cream of tartar?
I’m sorry to say that I don’t suggest it. Snickerdoodles and my snickerdoodle blondies all have the standard taste and tang that comes from cream of tartar. Do not skip it!
