This time around, it's a snickerdoodle cookie recipe in pumpkin that is date-sweetened! These cookies are thick, wholesome, chewy, fluffy, with a slight crinkly top and they are the perfect fall/winter cookie. Infused with real pumpkin purée, pumpkin spice, and pepita flour, they aren't deficient in pumpkin flavor. Like a PSL but better and in cookie form. They are finished with a sprinkle of pumpkin spice and date sugar, and are satisfyingly sweet, all while retaining a nice orange color. As always, they are vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar free. This time, they're also nut-free, coconut-free, and small batch. And they are very quick and easy to make. Perfect for fall, winter, and whenever you want a burst of pumpkin flavor!
So, for those of you who know and love my Keto Matcha Snickerdoodles recipe, these Date-Sweetened Pumpkin Snickerdoodles are the long-awaited date-sweetened sequel, in pumpkin flavor instead of matcha!
These cookies are moist, soft, chewy, thick, and fluffy and are sweet, pumpkin-y, and beautifully spiced! Plus they are nutrient-dense and are made without dairy, eggs, gluten-containing flours, and refined sugar. And there are no nuts or coconut ingredients in these cookies, either!
If you're not a fan of the typical thin/snappy/crispy/chewy snickerdoodles, these cookies offer a nice, tender, wholesome, and more substantial alternative texture-wise. And the flavor is truly like biting into autumn. These cookies are the quintessential feel-good baked good, comfort-cookie style.
An added bonus? These snickerdoodles don't have cream of tartar in them, so if you don't have this unusual ingredient in your pantry, don't worry because these snickerdoodles don't need them! They're tangy and rise just fine without them. AND these cookies are small batch. Sold yet?
