1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup canned pumpkin

1 In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Add the 1-1/2 cups sugar and pumpkin. Beat until combined. 2 Beat in vanilla, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.

About


I found this recipe after wanting to make something with pumpkin but wanting it to be just a little different.  I wasn't sure where my search was going to lead me, cakes, bars , cookies.....  didn't really care as long as it was fantastic.  I hit the jackpot with this one!  A snicker doodle type cookie made with pumpkin.  My goodness it'll be very hard for me to eat a regular snicker doodle after having this.  Pumpkin flavored cookies rolled in cinnamon and sugar, you need this little gem.  I made these the day before my family dinner, they were soft and moist and stayed that way for as long as they lasted, which trust me wasn't long.
