Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Preheat The Oven    
    If this is your  first time  making cookies, this recipe is for you, they are hard to ruin. Preheat the oven to 350 F.  
     
  • Step 2: Transform Butter into  Liquid Gold Unleashed: Rich Nutty Flavors in Every Cookie
    Add room-temperature unsalted butter to a small or  medium saucepan  over  medium heat.  
    Stir frequently with a rubber silicone spatula or wooden spoon until it's  melted butter.    
    Once the butter is melted, it will foam.    
    Keep a  very close  eye  on the butter for a brown color.  
    The butter will begin to have a  nutty brown butter  aroma and  brown bits  on the bottom of the saucepan.      
    Remove the saucepan from the heat and it cool.  
    This will prevent the butter from getting too dark or burnt.  
    I do this with our  browned butter  every time for all our  cookie recipes  and it has never burned.    
     
    Cindy's Baking Tips:  Browned butter  may take a little bit of extra time. The results of its flavor will give you  great cookies  and any dessert the best flavor, and take them to a new level.  Use brown butter immediately or store it in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week.  
  • Step 3:  Mix Up Your  Dry Ingredients: Mix These Fall Favorites for This  Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies
    In a  large mixing bowl  combine ¼  measuring cup  of all  purpose flour, the  classic Snickerdoodle cookies  mix,  pumpkin pie spice, and  pumpkin spice pudding mix.  
    Whisk the  dry ingredients  for light and  chewy cookies.  Doing so will give you airy  perfect cookies. Skipping this step may result in  flat cookies.  
  • Step 4:  Fall Spices  in  Every Bite Irresistible Pumpkin  Snickerdoodle Recipe  
     
    Add  room temperature  large  whole eggs,  canned pumpkin puree  (not  pumpkin pie filling),  vanilla extract, and slightly cooled brown butter to create a perfect blend between the  wet ingredients  and  flour mixture. Mix until the  pumpkin snickerdoodles recipe  is combined. Don't over-mix.  
    Remember, to grab the  brown bits  with a  rubber spatula  from the  bottom of the pan  to add to the  brown butter pumpkin snickerdoodles, this is where there is a ton of  nutty flavor  that makes these the best  pumpkin cookies.  
    Put the bowl in the refrigerator for some  chill time, 10 minutes.    
    Cindy's Baking Tips: I crack each whole egg in a  separate bowl  before adding them to my recipes. This is a good way to know if the  egg yolk  is bad. Doing this prevents opening an egg with a bad  egg yolk  in the middle making your  favorite cookies, desserts, or meals.    
    Giving the cookie dough  chill time  before baking is a  great way  to prevent the cookies from expanding too much and holding on to their  chewy texture. Skipping this step may result in  flat cookies. Instead of  brown butter Snickerdoodle cookies  with a soft texture.  
  • Step 5:  Chewy Cookie Chronicles: Dive Into a Pumpkin  Snickerdoodle Recipe
    In a  separate bowl  add the  cinnamon sugar  and set aside.  
    Add a sheet of parchment to each  baking sheet  for the  cookie dough balls. The cookies should be in a  single layer  and approximately an inch apart.  
    Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop the  brown butter pumpkin snickerdoodles  cookie dough and roll them between your hands into balls.  
    Next, roll the  cookie dough balls  in the  cinnamon-sugar mixture  to coat. This gives this  Snickerdoodle recipe  a crunch.  
    Add the coated cookies to the parchment covered sheet pan, for the baking success of this pumpkin  snickerdoodle recipe. You should be able to achieve three cookies per row and four rows per sheet pan for this  pumpkin snickerdoodles recipe.  
  • Step 6:  Watch Cookies  Morph  Into  Brown Butter Snickerdoodle Cookies  
     
    Add each  parchment paper  cookie sheet  to the preheated oven. Wait, for the amazing smell of your  brown butter snickerdoodle cookies  as they bake for 15 minutes.    
    Be sure the edges of the cookies are slightly brown on the edges or they may be too chewy.    
    When the timer goes off carefully remove them from the oven. Let the cookies sit on the pan for two minutes. Remove the cookies and let them cool completely on a  wire rack.  
  • Step 7:  Preserve Perfection:  Container, Keep Your  Cookie Recipes  Fresh  
     
    Store these  chewy snickerdoodles  in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for five days (If they last that long)!  
    This will help keep your cookies fresh and filled with their  warm spices!    
    These  pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies  freeze extremely well. Store them in an  airtight container  in the freezer for up to 3 months.
