Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

I know everyone right now is baking, eating, carving, and picking pumpkins so I apologize for the boring post. I had to taste these for myself though, hoping they would be worth the failure of trying to stay away from gluten.

Everyone in my house will tell you that I make amazing plain ol' snickerdoodles. Those and no- bakes are my specialty. My secret to snickerdoodles is surely the recipe though, not me. When I found this recipe on pinterest (of course) I knew I had to make them. Snickerdoodle + pumpkin sounds like a winner to me.

I considered using the amazing normal recipe I use and just adding pumpkin pie spice and pumpkin puree but I was too nervous that the puree might make the cookies too moist or something. The recipes aren't too different and Megan said she made these the other day and they were "awesome", so I just stuck to the recipe I found.

Like always, my dad was crazy about them. I couldn't help myself from thinking back to church this morning where they showed this clip from one of my favorite movies, "What About Bob". Luckily my dad wasn't this bad.





My mom's first word was "unique". I'm going to have to agree with her. They are really good, just not quite as delicious as the ones I usually make. My baking with pumpkin craving was satisfied but I think I will just make the recipe I am known for next time.

In other news, I'm so excited! The best sisters, Megan and Jenny, are coming home this weekend! So hopefully we can sneak a post in!
