Since the leaves have all fallen, the weather is getting much colder, and everyone is getting into the winter spirit, I thought these pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies would be the perfect way to end the fall season.

These cookies have probably been the best I’ve ever made! They are full of that delicious warm pumpkin taste, the spice of cinnamon, and are coated with the perfect amount of sugar.

I am so happy I found this recipe from TikTok @lillyluvsfall. She has created the perfect cookie for fall, that is so easy to make. I had my friends and family try it, and they said that it was absolute perfection. It really warms up your whole body, and I was delighted to enjoy this treat! Please enjoy making this treat easily from home!
