Very few food items say fall like pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg. Combine them all together and you have fall in a dish…or in this case on a cookie sheet. I make some pumpkin cream cheese frosting and used it to make pumpkin snickerdoodle sandwich cookies. So, grab some apple cider and let’s start enjoying these delicious cookies.
What You’ll Need:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
8 Tbsp (1 stick) of butter, softened
1/3 cup pumpkin puree
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Snickerdoodle cookies {ya’ll already know I am hardly a baker so here is the recipe I used for my cookies}
Let’s Make It:
1) In a mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until well combined.
2) Grab your pumpkin and add it to the cream cheese mixture. Beat to combine.
3) With the mixer running, slowly add the powdered sugar in batches. Allow each batch to be incoporated before adding another. Add in cinnamon and nutmeg and beat until combined.
4) Spread icing in between snickerdoodle cookies to create a sandwich. Try not to eat the entire batch.
Have you broken out the pumpkin yet and starting cooking? What are some of your favorite ways to use pumpkin?

What a fantastic idea! Snickerdoodles are so good by themselves but I’m sure they taste incredible with the pumpkin cream. Very creative 🙂
Happy Blogging!
