The temperatures have cooled down and the fall baking has increased. I love the smell of fall in my kitchen. It makes my heart happy.

Pumpkin Snickerdoodles are a fall classic and this is how my family makes them. They are soft and taste heavenly. The cinnamon/sugar coating on the the outside not only adds taste, but texture as well.

The entire Pumpkin Snickerdoodle is perfection in each and every bite. This recipe will become a new fall staple!
