Pin ItI hope you are ready for pumpkin recipes because I am sharing the BEST pumpkin cookie recipe today. These Pumpkin Cinnamon Cookies are hands down the best pumpkin cookies I have ever made or eaten…and I have made and eaten a lot of pumpkin cookies in my lifetime.
A few of my favorite pumpkin cookie recipes include:
- Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Soft Pumpkin Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting
- Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
- Pumpkin Gingersnap Cookies
- Pumpkin Oatmeal Scotchies
See, I have made a lot of pumpkin cookies. I am kind of obsessed with pumpkin and cookies:)
I love all of my pumpkin cookie recipes, but these Pumpkin Cinnamon Cookies are my new favorite. Sorry other pumpkin cookies, I hate to pick a favorite, but these Pumpkin Cinnamon Cookies are number one in my book now! I am madly in love with them!
I really wasn't planning on blogging about these cookies until later in the fall, but I shared them with two friends and they both text me asking for the recipe. They both loved them! One of my friends even said that these cookies are not only the best pumpkin cookies, but the best cookies ever..out of all the cookies! She said these cookies will be in heaven's cookie jar:) I am fine with that!
So we are kicking off pumpkin season a little early. I didn't want my friends to wait…and that includes all of you:)
Pumpkin cookies traditionally have cinnamon in them, but I upped the cinnamon by adding an extra healthy dose of ground cinnamon to the dough. I also added cinnamon chips!
If you haven't baked with cinnamon chips, you are missing out! I can usually find them at the grocery store, but if I can't I order them from Amazon. I love them and they are a MUST for fall baking. I suggest you stock up because you are going to be baking a billion batches of these Pumpkin Cinnamon Cookies after you taste them. I am already going on my third batch.
To finish off the cookies and to keep with the cinnamon theme, I roll the cookies in a cinnamon sugar mixture before baking. The mixture adds a nice sweet touch and makes the cookies extra purty!
So go ahead and bust out a can of pumpkin. It is time to make these Pumpkin Cinnamon Cookies. Trust me, you NEED them ASAP! They are the perfect pumpkin cookie!
