Easy pumpkin spice snickerdoodle cookie recipe perfect for fall.
I think people can be broken up into 2 groups:
- Those who ADORE pumpkin spice things.
- Those who HATE pumpkin spice things.
There’s almost no middle ground. Well, I’m in that middle group if there can be one. I am “She who appreciates pumpkin spice, but no need to worship it”. I like it in moderation, but I’m not about to have a Pumpkin Spice Latte with my Pumpkin Pie next to my Pumpkin Spiced Sweet Potatoes.
But I would totally take you up on an offer of a Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodle! These are perfect for me – a taste of pumpkin spice without being too “in your face” about it. They’re a nice deviation of a Snickerdoodle cookie, which is a favorite of mine.
