We really like snickerdoodles at our house so we wanted to try these pumpkin snickerdoodles. We hope you will enjoy them too!

Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

*

Cream together wet ingredients:

*
*1 cup Granulated Sugar

*3/4 Brown Sugar, packed

*1 cup Salted Butter, room temperature

*1 Egg Yolk

*3/4 cup Pure pumpkin, canned (This much pumpkin makes a soft cookie next time I might try 1/2 cup for a bit more crunchy cookie.)

*2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Dry Ingredients:

*

Sift together in a flour sifter into a bowl the following:

*
*3 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons All-purpose Flour

*1 teaspoon Cornstarch

*1 teaspoons Cream of Tarter

*1 teaspoon Baking Soda

*1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder

*1/2 teaspoon Salt

*1 teaspoon Cinnamon

*1/2 teaspoon Ginger

*1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg

*1/4 teaspoon Allspice

*

Sugar Cinnamon for rolling:

*
*1/4 cup Granulated Sugar

*1 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon

*
Combine the wet and dry ingredients in a bowl and hand mix together just until incorporated.
When cookie dough is combined, using a tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop cookies. Place the scooped cookie dough into your hand and roll into a ball and place in the cinnamon sugar mixture and roll until covered with mixture.

*
Then place sugar cinnamon coated ball onto a Silpat covered 1/2 baking sheet, repeat. Bake the cookies at 350*F. for 10-12 minutes (12 cookies per sheet).

*
Makes about 5 dozen cookies.

Sooo… many pictures! But I wanted to capture as many aspects of Jamie’s party. I hope you enjoy part 2 of her Harry Potter Birthday party.

See our Oreo Truffles for making the snitch and we used the foil off the Rolos, 2 roll wrappers per snitch. When making truffles use a teaspoon of Oreo mixture per snitch.

Chocolate Frogs

We used chocolate almond Bark to make some of the frogs. We made these mostly for decoration. If you want to eat them it is best to use a good dipping chocolate, melted and add to frog molds OR use standard package of good quality dark or milk chocolate chips and melted with one teaspoon shortening in a double boiler on low or microwave chocolate chips with shortening in 30 second intervals in the microwave until melted. Pour melted chocolate into frog molds of your choice. We bought our molds at Kitchen Kneads.
