White Chocolate Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

Just when you though snickerdoodles couldn't get any better, now you can add pumpkin AND white chocolate to them!

I made these last fall and loved them, but they disappeared so fast that I didn't get a picture of them. Of course, I was absolutely devastated that I had to make them again this year, right?! I did get a picture of them, but barely. They disappeared just as quickly. I have to say they are very close to my favorite cookie of all-time. I think they are the perfect amount of snickerdoodle with a hint of pumpkin and pumpkin spice. And the melty bits of white chocolate are just heaven.

Recipe from Sally's Baking Addiction

I love snickerdoodles, but you cannot go wrong with traditional chocolate chip cookie and they can have pumpkin too, like these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies. I also love the fact that Just About Baked made Pumpkin Snowballs. That's the best idea!
