Kissed Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

The ingredient that wins the popularity award this month is Pumpkin! There have been so many recipes floating around lately featuring this seasonal gem that I didn’t know with one to go with! I’ve been wanting to bake with it for a while now and finally decided upon Pumpkin Snickerdoodles created by Krista at BudgetGourmetMom.com. Here photos were sophisticated, yet adorable and I thought since we love snickerdoodles, what a fun way to add pumpkin to a standard favorite! The boys and I built them yesterday and here is how it went down in my kitchen.

This is what I used.

1/2 Cup Pumpkin

One cup sugar

Two eggs

One tsp Vanilla

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp. Cream of Tartar

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.

Roll into one inch balls then dip them into a sugar cinnamon mixture.

You’re supposed to press them down after you form them into a ball, but I forgot to! Luckily I had these Hershey Kisses that I quick used after baking. That seemed to do the job!

They turned out really delicious!

A nice twist on the classic peanut butter kiss cookie. So, as you will notice if you check out Krista’s post, which you should, she lists many options for the outcome of the cookie. I would like to add two additional options that I found.
1. The Hershey Kisses add a nice chocolate element.
2. For my family’s preference, we might use less cream of tartar next time.
Thank you Krista for this wonderful fall recipe! My kids and I had a really fun time baking them together!
