Ingredients

1 cup butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup canned pumpkin

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg

2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Add the 1-1/2 cups sugar and pumpkin. Beat until combined.

Beat in vanilla, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Beat in egg. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in remaining flour with a wooden spoon. Cover and chill 1 hour.

In a small mixing bowl, stir together the 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Drop cookie dough by teaspoonfuls into the sugar-cinnamon mixture, rolling to coat. Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 10 minutes or until edges are golden. Remove and cool on wire racks.

About

I found this recipe after wanting to make something with pumpkin but wanting it to be just a little different. I wasn't sure where my search was going to lead me, cakes, bars , cookies..... didn't really care as long as it was fantastic. I hit the jackpot with this one! A snicker doodle type cookie made with pumpkin. My goodness it'll be very hard for me to eat a regular snicker doodle after having this. Pumpkin flavored cookies rolled in cinnamon and sugar, you need this little gem. I made these the day before my family dinner, they were soft and moist and stayed that way for as long as they lasted, which trust me wasn't long.
