This month’s Fill the Cookie Jar theme is fall. Nothing says fall like pumpkin and cinnamon, so I made pumpkin snickerdoodles. Now, I have to say that I have had a lot of snickerdoodles that were hard and dry. These are NOT those cookies. These are soft and chewy and full of pumpkin and cinnamon flavor.
The recipe is an adaptation of the basic cookie recipe I came up with a few years back. It is the recipe because you can change the sugars, add stuff in, etc. and end up with a completely different cookie.
