Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
 Servings 18 2 inch balls
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups sugar
 - 1 cups softened butter
 - 2 eggs
 - ¾ cup pumpkin puree
 - 2 teaspoons vanilla
 - 3 ½ cups flour
 - ½ teaspoon salt
 - ½ teaspoon baking soda
 - ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
 - 1 teaspoon cinnamon
 - ½ teaspoon nutmeg
 - ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
 
TOPPING
- 3 tablespoons sugar
 - 2 teaspoons cinnamon
 
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375.
 - Combine sugar and butter in a mixing bowl. Once the mixture is nice and smooth, add the eggs and vanilla. Add in the pumpkin. Beat or mix again until a smooth consistency.
 - In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients. Slowly stir those into the butter mixture until the cookie dough is well mixed.
 - Mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping either in a bowl or on a plate. I like to do this on a plate and then roll the cookie dough balls through it.
 - Roll batter into 2-inch size balls. Place on cookie sheet. Press each ball of dough down to flatten.
 - Bake for 10-12 minutes.
