White Chocolate Pumpkin Snickerdoodles #desserts #chocolate #pumpkin #cakes #easy
These delicate and chewy snickerdoodle treats are loaded with pumpkin, white chocolate, and cinnamon sugar. You're going to need a group lying around for those cold fall days.
Today I present my fall variant of snickerdoodles. Also, sacred mackerel, these pumpkin snickerdoodles merit an overwhelming applause. Two, really. They're the eagerly awaited continuation of my preferred pumpkin chocolate chip treats. (Otherwise known as the chewy pumpkin treat of which all cakey pumpkin treats are envious!)
I'm totally insane with regards to pumpkin treats. Pumpkin has a method for making all that it contacts taste cakey. I incline toward a chewy and thick treat, so it took me for a spell to incorporate pumpkin into treats to make that delectable surface. For the record, I love pumpkin cake yet when I need a treat, I need a treat. Not cake.
Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread #dessert #cakes #zucchini #chocolate #recipes
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup (50g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 Tablespoons (86g) pumpkin puree (use the rest of the can in any of these recipes)
- 1 and 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice*
- 1/2 cup (90g) white chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions :
- Melt the butter in the microwave. In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Whisk in the vanilla and pumpkin until smooth. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together with a large spoon or rubber spatula. The dough will be very soft. Fold in white chocolate chips. They may not stick to the dough because of the melted butter, but do your best to have them evenly dispersed in the dough. Cover the dough and chill for 30 minutes, or up to 3 days.* Chilling is mandatory.
- Take the dough out of the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Roll the dough into balls, about 1.5 Tablespoons of dough each. Mix together the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Roll each of the dough balls generously in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and arrange on 2 baking sheets. Slightly flatten the dough balls because the cookies will only slightly spread in the oven. The photo above shows what the cookie dough balls should look like before baking.
- Bake the cookies for 11-12 minutes or until the edges appear set. The cookies will look very soft and under-baked. Remove from the oven and press a few more white chocolate chips onto the tops, if desired. If you find that your cookies didn’t spread much at all, flatten them out with the back of a spoon when you remove them from the oven.
- Cool cookies for at least 10 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack. (Tip: The longer the cookies cool, the chewier they will be!) I let them sit out for at least 1 hour before enjoying and I find that their chewiness and pumpkin flavor is more prominent on day 2.
