These soft, pillowy pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies combine the classic tang of cream of tartar with cozy fall spices. Made in one bowl with simple ingredients, they’re perfect for a quick, comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Mix in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Sprinkle the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt over the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the ¼ cup sugar and 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon for the coating.
  7. Scoop about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough, roll into a ball, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat. Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are set and centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough is essential to prevent spreading. Use room temperature ingredients for best results. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour. For dairy-free, use vegan butter (stick form). Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days; freeze for up to 3 months.
