    ❤️ Why you'll love it

    • Pumpkin snickerdoodles combines the taste of fall with a delicious pumpkin flavor in a classic cookie.

    Ingredients for pumpkin spice snickerdoodles.
    Just a few simple ingredients will make the most delicious air fryer cookies!
    Sugar and butter ingredients in a mixing bowl.
    Be sure butter is at room temperature to make creaming easier.
    Dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
    Sift together the dry ingredients before adding to wet ingredients for even distribution.
    Dry ingredients on top of wet ingredients in a mixing bowl.
    Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, this will aid in incorporating all the flour without lumps.

    🥘 Ingredients

    Brown sugar and granulated sugar: used for sweetening the cookies and for flavor.

    Salted butter: should be at room temperature for easy creaming.

    Pumpkin purée: be sure you buy can of actual pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. I prefer Libby's as it doesn't get watery like other canned pumpkin.

    Pure vanilla extract: added to enhance flavors

    Egg yolk: refrigerate or freeze the egg white for future use.

    All-purpose flour: the flour should be sifted or aerated (stirred with a spoon to fluff the flour up)

    Pumpkin pie spice

    Baking soda

    Cream of tartar: used as a leavening agent and assists in preventing sugar crystallization.

    Salt

    Ground cinnamon

    Creamy cookie dough in a mixing bowl.
    The mixture will be creamy, but still stiff enough to shape into balls.
    A bowl of sugar with cinnamon on top of the sugar.
    Feel free to substitute pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon in the sugar coating.

    🔪 Instructions

    1. Pre-heat the air fryer to 350°f
    2. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, cream butter, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and brown sugar on low speed until creamy.
    3. Add pumpkin purée, vanilla, and egg yolk to the butter mixture. Continue to mix until smooth, periodically scraping down the sides of the bowl.
    4. Sift the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cream of tartar, and salt into another large bowl.
    5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until well combined.
    6. In a small bowl, mix the remaining granulated sugar with the ground cinnamon.
    7. Using a small cooking scoop, scoop dough and roll into ball shape. Roll the dough balls through the cinnamon sugar mixture.
    8. Place dough balls into the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper. Air fry at 350°f for 8 minutes, until cookies are browned around the edges and dough is no longer wet on top.
    9. Remove cookies from the air fryer basket and flatten with spatula. Cool completely on a wire rack.

    💭 Tips

    • To Freeze the cookie dough balls, skip the step of rolling in the cinnamon sugar and line dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet. Freeze until solid and store in an airtight container up to 3 months. To bake, remove from the freezer then roll in the cinnamon sugar before baking.
