Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowls
  • 1 electric mixer or whisk
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper
  • 1 cookie scoop or tablespoon
  • 1 cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened, 2 sticks
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon for sugar coating
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar for cinnamon sugar coating
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon for cinnamon sugar coating

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully combined.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • In a separate bowl, prepare the pumpkin cheesecake filling by combining softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Scoop a tablespoon of the snickerdoodle dough into your palm, flatten it slightly, and place a teaspoon of pumpkin cheesecake filling in the center. Wrap the dough around the filling, rolling into a ball.
  • Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated, then place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes, until the edges are set and the tops are lightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For a cozy twist, serve the cookies with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy the delicious blend of flavors!
