Tip for Baking Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies

• Have all of your ingredients out and at the proper temperature before you begin.
• Make sure your kitchen is clean and the counter clear so you have plenty of room.
• Make sure you have lots of Pot Holders. I have one set on each side of the kitchen and one by the stove.
• Use silicone baking mats so that you do not have to butter or spray the pan.
• Allow the cookies to sit on the cookie sheet for at least 3 minutes before you move them to a baking rack. This will make sure that they do not crumble or lose their shape as you move them.
• If you have kids at home, make a double batch.

How to Make Snickerdoodle Cookies

1. Sift with a flour sifter or use a hand sifter to mix together the dry ingredients to have all the flavors incorporated evenly. Flour, baking soda, cream of tartar pumpkin pie spice.
2. In a small bowl mix together the cinnamon and the sugar that you will use to roll the cookies in before they are baked. (I used a bowl with a lid so I can set this aside)
3. In a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time.
5. Add to the butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla.
6. With the mixer on low add the flour mixture and the milk alternating one at a time.
7. When the dough comes together and is too thick for the mixer, stop the mixer and mix by hand.
8. Refrigerate for 30 to 45 minutes just until you can form into balls.
9. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
10. Roll about a 1-inch ball and roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat the outside of the cookie
11. Place cookies on a silicone baking mat or parchment paper about 2 inches apart.
12. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. You want the cookies to be cooked but still soft in the middle. It is ok to undercook a minute or so.
13. After you take the cookie sheet out of the oven set the cookies still on the cookie sheet to rest for about 2 minutes
14. Remove cookies to a cooling rack.
15. enjoy.
