Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodle Blossoms

 
Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodle Blossoms
A few years back I was on the hunt for Pumpkin Spice Kisses. Unfortunately every Target in the state of Utah was sold out! So the next year when they were back in stock, I picked up a hefty stash of them. One of my favorite ways to use them (aside from snacking on them) is in these snickerdoodle blossoms. The other day while the little one slept I broke out my KitchenAid and whipped up a batch. The dough is soft, buttery, tangy and full of cinnamon flavor with a hint of pumpkin. I like to roll the balls of dough in a cinnamon sugar mixture that has a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spiced mixed in. I think it really compliments the kiss! These blossoms make an excellent treat, perfect for gift giving or for sharing with your family!

Ingredients

blossoms

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter - room temperature
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla

pumpkin spice coating

  • 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

topping

  • 1/2 bag Hershey's Pumpkin Spice Kisses

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter and sugar on medium-high for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy. With mixing speed on low add pumpkin puree, egg then vanilla. Mix until just combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, soda, cinnamon, cream of tartar, and salt. With mixing speed on low, slowly add dry ingredients to butter mixture. Mix until combined.
  • Remove bowl from mixer and chill dough for 30 minutes. Once dough is sufficiently chilled, use a standard size cookie scoop to create balls. Roll dough in hands to form balls, then roll into pumpkin spice mixture. Place onto cookie sheet and flatten slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a measuring cup.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating the sheet half way through the baking process. Cookies should look soft and should have slightly firm edges before removing from the oven (don’t over cook them or they will be dry and crumbly). Allow to cool for 2 minutes before pressing a kiss into the center of each cookie.
  • Let cookies cool on sheet for 3 additional minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  1. What a delightful Website to discover! I cannot WAIT to try this Snickerdoodle variation. Snickerdoodles are my favorite cookies anyway. I am also chomping at the bit to try your Pumpkin Pancakes with Butter Pecan Maple Syrup. My mouth is already watering. Thanks so much for this fabulous Website. God bless you (and God bless America!)

  2. Oh wow, these look good! I will be on the lookout for the kisses. I do not think I have ever seen them. Thanks for the recipe. It is so different and perfect for this time of year 🙂
