As someone who already loves all things fall, I also adore pumpkin spice everything! A long time devotee of the pumpkin spice latte, I have only just discovered the joy of a pumpkin spice chi tea! So good you guys, yum! That's why when I saw a recipe for pumpkin spice snickerdoodles, I just had to try and make them! I am not exactly a good cook, I once put two tablespoons of salt instead of two teaspoons in basic chocolate chip cookies and turned them into salt chips, but I can occasionally bake with success. Last year I even made brownies from scratch (thank you pinterest!)
I chose
this recipe, as unlike the first recipe I saw on pinterest, it didn't require crisco/shortening (because eww crisco, seriously). I did make a few adjustments to the recipe though, firstly I used only one egg (as opposed to the recipe's 2 + 1 extra yolk) and to make up the moisture difference I added a 1/4th cup of pumpkin (like the pureed pumpkin pie filling you get in a can pumpkin). Secondly I had to bake these for 11 minutes as opposed to the recipe's recommended 7-8. I also want to note that I made a bit of a mess making the dough, but that's probably because I am messy, not because these cookies are inherently so! Also I only have a hand mixer, and not a stand mixer with an attached bowl and all that jazz.

| Ready to bake, I smushed the next batch with a fork as these didn't spread much on their own |
They turned out super delicious! They would be extra perfect with your afternoon tea or coffee. Why wait for thanksgiving to have pumpkin dessert right? No time like the present!
