Pumpkindoodles

This is just a twist on the classic Snickerdoodle cookie. Use orange sprinkles instead of the cinnamon sugar and push in a candy pumpkin right when you pull them out of the oven.

Have kids? Grab them and make these cookies together this week. My kids loved helping rolls the dough balls in sugar!

Someone decided to help me with the picture taking!! I let her suck on that pumpkin for bit before taking it away.

It was much too big for her little mouth, but who can resist a candy pumpkin?!


Question: Which do you like more, candy corn or the pumpkins?

They've got to have almost identical ingredients of sugar, sugar, and more sugar, but I LOVE the pumpkins!

What gets your vote?! Pumpkins or Candy Corn?

I thought these Halloween cards would be fun to send to your grandkids, neices, nephews or cousins!
