Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodles are my Enthusiastic Kitchen Elf's favorite cookies. So, it was easy to get him to help me make them. You can use your favorite snickerdoodle recipe; the only tweak we really made: reduce the butter as you're adding moisture with the pumpkin puree. You can read more about Eggland's Best in my first post for the week: The Great Pumpkin Cocktail. The second time I went to the store with my product coupons, I found brown eggs. Love it!

Ingredients

• 7 T softened butter
• 1 C organic granulated sugar + 4 T for rolling (prefer Dixie Crystals)
• 1 egg (prefer Eggland's Best)
• 2 T pumpkin purée (click on my Fall-Flecked Stuffed Grape Leaves for the purée recipe)
• 1 t pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 t ground cinnamon + 2 T for rolling
• 1/4 t ground cardamom
• 1/4 t ground nutmeg
• 3 C flour
• 1 t baking soda
• 1/2 t baking powder
• Also needed: baking sheet, silicone mat or parchment paper, scoop 

Procedure

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a small bowl, blend together 4 T sugar and 2 T ground cinnamon for rolling.

In a small mixing bowl, blend together flour, baking soda, baking powder, 1/2 t ground cinnamon, 1/4 t ground cardamom, and 1/4 t ground nutmeg. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until lightened and fluffy. Beat in egg, pumpkin puree, and pure vanilla.

Gradually blend in the flour mixture until you have a smooth dough. Here you can use a scoop which is much easier...or you can roll walnut-sized balls with your hands. Place the dough balls in the cinnamon mixture and roll to coat completely.

Place onto prepared cookie sheets. 

Bake for 10 to 11 minutes in the preheated oven - or until golden. If you prefer more crunchy cookies, bake for a minute or two longer. Let cool for a few minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
