Snickerdoodle cookies are one of my family’s favorite cookies. My husband and oldest daughter are big fans of cinnamon! Cinnamon is not my favorite spice but these cookies are right up my alley. I love all things pumpkin and these are one of the best cookies I have had!
Unlike regular Snickerdoodles, this recipe has a couple of different things with it. On top of having Pumpkin Puree and Butterscotch Chips, they have no eggs added. This will make the cookies more chewier than a cookie with eggs. This recipe is not vegan but changing out a couple of the ingredients can make it free from animal products.
