I have missed baking these past few months and I was very excited to get back in the kitchen this past weekend. With that said, I wanted to ease myself back into baking with a simple recipe and these pumpkin snickerdoodles did just that. It was perfect since I made the dough during Audrey’s morning nap, played and went for a walk with her while the dough chilled, then baked the cookies during her afternoon nap. It couldn’t have worked out better.

I absolutely love snickerdoodles and these did not disappoint. In my opinion, the amount of pumpkin in them is just perfect. There’s just enough pumpkin in them to make it noticeable but not too much that it overpowers the wonderful cinnamon flavor.

I adore my witch costume (that I wore for four years in a row), I adore my brother’s handmade mouse costume and most of all, I adore my brother’s chubby little mouse legs.

Watermelon warheads, green apple now and laters, caramel apple lollipops and little individual sized bags of candy corns were my favorites. Speaking of candy corn, how fun are these tiny cookies??? They’re totally simply to make, too. I used a regular ol’ sugar cookie dough, divided it into thirds and dyed two of the pieces orange and yellow with gel food coloring. Then, I sandwiched the layers together and sliced out perfect little candy corns! You can find the recipe here! Tagged as: cookies, holidays, PBS. Coffee Cake Cookies.

Thus, when I moved out of state and away from Over the Top, I knew I had to come up with a copycat recipe to keep myself going. I think I did it. I certainly don’t claim that these are exact copies of the Over the Top version. So how are mine different? If you can find real old-fashioned lemon drops, I’d recommend those, but if not, Lemonheads candies work well too (that’s what I used here).
