When you have a pumpkin craving, and you need something quick – this is your recipe! Less than 30 minutes from start to finish, and they taste amazing! Imagine if pumpkin cheesecake and snickerdoodles had a baby…yep, that’s what these taste like!
My daughter (7) is the biggest pumpkin lover in our family. I know any time I make a pumpkin dessert, she is going to love it. My 2 year old helped me make these, and as they were baking, my daughter was going nuts. They smelled SO good, and she couldn’t wait to try them!
She was so eager to eat one that she grabbed one before they even got slathered with butter and cinnamon sugar. And she still loved them! Of course she loved them even more after 🙂
This is such a fun, easy snack or dessert, and you probably already have all the ingredients on hand!
