Pumpkin Snicker Doodles

I love Pinterest.  There are so many fantastic products, projects and best of all recipes!  The most recent recipe I found was for pumpkin snicker doodles.   What a great idea!  Unfortunately I cannot share my lovely photos that I took last week because Blogger is having a hard time recognizing them from my iphoto application to post onto here, so I will just have to list the instructions.  The original recipe can be found here.

First combine 1 cup of room temperature butter with 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.

Add 3/4 cup of pumpkin puree.

1 egg and 2 tsp vanilla extract.

Now the dry!  1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp nutmeg.

And 3 3/4 cup of flour.

Cover and refrigerate for an hour.

While this cools, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground ginger.

Scoop the dough

Roll in the sugar mixture and bake in a 350 degree oven for 12-14 minutes.

And voila!

These came out so tasty, albeit a little sweet.  So sorry about no pictures today.  Hopefully I can figure it out.

Enjoy!
