If I step into one of those fancy cookie shops and spot snickerdoodles, my decision is pretty much made. Unless there are also crinkly crackly\u00a0Molasses Cookies<\/a>. Then I’m in trouble! These Ridiculously Easy Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodle Cookies bring a bit of both worlds together, pairing the buttery goodness of a classic snickerdoodle with those warm fall spices I find almost impossible to resist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

With crisp edges, chewy centers, and a sparkling pumpkin-spiced sugar coating, these cookies taste like something from that fancy shop, but you can mix the dough in your own kitchen with just a bowl and a spatula or spoon. No mixer to haul out and no chilling required. The hardest part? Waiting for the first batch to cool enough to sneak a taste!<\/p>\n

Ridiculously Easy?<\/h2>\n

If you’ve been hanging around The Caf\u00e9 for a while, you know we have a collection of recipes we call “Ridiculously Easy.” They’re the kind of recipes that require very little effort but deliver delicious results you’re proud to share. These Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodle Cookies fit right in!<\/p>\n

There’s no mixer needed, no butter to brown, and no long wait for the dough to chill. Start with very soft butter, stir in the ingredients, then scoop, roll, and bake. You’ll need just one bowl for the dough and a small bowl for the spiced sugar coating.<\/p>\n

And you don’t need fancy equipment to make them look pretty, either. A cookie scoop makes portioning quick, but a measuring spoon works, too. Roll the dough into balls, give them a tumble in the pumpkin spice sugar, and let the oven take care of those lovely crackly tops.<\/p>\n

Simple ingredients, delicious fall flavor<\/h2>\n

You probably have most of what you need for these cookies already tucked away in your pantry and fridge: butter, sugar, brown sugar, an egg, vanilla, and a handful of baking staples. Pumpkin pie spice goes into both the dough and the sugar coating, giving every bite a delicious taste of fall.<\/p>\n

\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n

And here’s a little clarification: there’s no pumpkin pur\u00e9e in these cookies! It’s the pumpkin spice that gives this classic snickerdoodle its seasonal twist.<\/p>\n

No pumpkin pie spice on hand? Our easy\u00a0Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice<\/a>\u00a0recipe includes a big-batch option for stocking your spice cabinet or sharing with a friend who loves to cook, plus a small-batch option when you only need a little. <\/p>\n

\"Five<\/a><\/figure>\n

For these cookies, double the small batch; you’ll need 4 teaspoons total for the dough and sugar coating.<\/p>\n

How to make these Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodle Cookies<\/h2>\n

How to make them? It’s almost too good to be true! Just stir together all the dough ingredients, scoop it into portions, and roll into balls. Give each one a tumble in a 2-ingredient pumpkin spice sugar, then bake until lightly golden with pretty crackly tops. Let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. <\/p>\n

See what I mean? Almost too good to be true… easy, ridiculously easy!<\/p>\n
