Does the dough need to chill? I weighed all the ingredients and the dough is way too soft to roll into a ball. A little help? Thanks!
Dorothy, you can chill the dough if it seems too soft. Hope you enjoy the cookies.
I made these today, great taste and texture, look just like the picture. My family finds them to be dry and feels they would be good with coffee or hot tea. I said a glass of cold milk would be good with them.
Hard not to resist! I might have to make these for a Thanksgiving treat (and try it a few times before that too!)
Oh yes, Mary! You definitely will want to taste test a few times before serving them for Thanksgiving (LOL!) 🙂
Two of my favorites….pumpkin & snickerdoodles!!!! Love this Robyn 🙂
Thanks so much, Marla! I love them both and though combining just seemed like the right thing to do! 🙂
When I pull up this recipe, it’s showing pics of your amazing chocolate cake, with the hearts on it- from a recent article. Maybe my phone is glitchy- but thought I’d mention it. I clicked the link and I searched in your site for pumpkin snicker doodles.
Love your stuff!!
Thanks so much for letting me know, Jacquie!! xo
I am not seeing when to add the pumpkin puree..
Hi Meredith,
You add the pumpkin puree after you’ve creamed together the butter and sugar. I hope that helps!
Thanks! Can’t wait to try this one! Every recipe I have tried of yours has been AMAZING!
