Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodles

by 2 Comments

Now that I feel like I completely mastered the chocolate chip cookie, I’ve been itching to try other kinds. Rough goal, I know. My family is happy to taste test.

This idea came to me after a few unsuccessful attempts at a ginger molasses cookie. Hopefully that will show up on here soon. I like pumpkin spice but not in a nutty way. I mostly enjoy it in a baked good which is why I made these lovely mounds of sugar. If you want to amp up those flavors you could mix in pumpkin pie spice into the cinnamon sugar mixture as well. Enjoy!

mintchocolatechipcookieThis is where I state my disbelief that Christmas is exactly four days away. I mean, seriously. How did that happen?! I had intended on putting this recipe up WEEKS ago. I guess better now than after Christmas.

These are some spectacular cookies! Based on my Breakfast Cookie recipe but with more chocolate and mint. YUM! I may or may not get to adding other recipes before the holidays so wishing you all a very joyful time! Thank you for following my blog!
