Fall is all about comforting flavors and cozy gatherings with friends and family. Snickerdoodle cookies have that sweet cinnamon twist we adore, and pumpkin pie is a classic autumn treat—so why not combine the two? Enter these Snickerdoodle Swirl Pumpkin Pie Bites, a delightful and easy way to celebrate the season.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup pumpkin purée
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a standard muffin pan by lightly greasing or lining it with paper cups. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, cream of tartar, and cinnamon. Set this dry mixture aside for now.
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Crack in the egg, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the butter-sugar mixture, creating a soft snickerdoodle dough.
Next, in a small bowl, combine the pumpkin purée with the brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until well mixed.
Now, drop about a tablespoon of snickerdoodle dough into each muffin cup, pressing it down slightly to form a base. Top each with a spoonful of the pumpkin mixture, swirling gently into the dough with a toothpick or small skewer. Bake for about 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set. Let the bites cool for a few minutes before removing them from the pan.
Serve warm or room temperature, and enjoy the sweet aroma of cinnamon and pumpkin that fills the air.
These Snickerdoodle Swirl Pumpkin Pie Bites are a crowd-pleasing fall dessert or snack. They are perfect for anyone who loves the warm, comforting flavors of the season without making a full pie. For a lighter version, swap in whole wheat flour, reduce the sugar, or experiment with a plant-based butter alternative. They’re also great for portion control and make an excellent addition to autumn potlucks. Enjoy these tasty bites any time you’re craving a bite-sized taste of cozy fall flavors!
