White Chocolate Pumpkin Snickerdoodles are so delicious and perfect for the fall season. These cookies are soft, loaded with white chocolate chips and filled with pumpkin flavor.

Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

When fall arrives you just know it’s time for all things pumpkin. This year there is no exception! Since almost everything is infused with everyone’s favorite gourd, I wanted to create something extra delicious. My White Chocolate Pumpkin Snickerdoodles are just the cookie recipe you’ve been looking for.

I take all the great components of two classic cookies and fuse them together. From the snickerdoodle side I top these with plenty of cinnamon and sugar. For the pumpkin side I use a pumpkin pudding mix and pumpkin pie spice. They each give the cookies a soft texture and that right amount of pumpkin flavor.

When I was testing out this recipe, I needed a little something extra to bring everything together, and that’s when I added white chocolate chips! With its sweet and rich flavor, it ties everything else together perfectly to form my new favorite fall cookie. 🙂

Even though these cookies have many flavor components they’re super easy to make. Have a batch ready this year for when you and the family carve pumpkins!

Of course!  If you, or someone in your family, doesn’t like white chocolate, substitute milk chocolate chips.

HOW LONG DO THE COOKIES KEEP?

Store tightly covered on your countertop for 5 to 7 days.
