Pumpkin season happily coincides with the beginning of baking season. In fact, as temperatures dip and heating the kitchen is no longer a cause for concern, the only real challenge is deciding what to bake first! We recommend starting with new Trader Joe’s Pumpkin & Spice Snickerdoodle Cookie Mix.

Pumpkin powder provides an authentic base flavor for this Mix, complemented with the ideal blend of warm spices, including cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and clove. Its conveniently pre-measured status allows for light work of dough assembly; a stick of butter, an egg, and a tablespoon of cold milk are all that’s required from your end to stir it together. From there, you simply shape the dough into two-tablespoon-sized balls, roll them in the provided Sugar & Spice Mix, then bake at 375°F for about 12 minutes.

The resulting Cookies are chewy in the center, golden-crisp at the edges, and loaded with sweet, Pumpkin & Spice flavor! Enjoy them warm from the oven, perhaps with a cozy mug of Harvest Blend Herbal Tea, or some gently warmed Apple Spiced Cider.
