These pumpkin snickerdoodles start with pre-made cookie dough, baked into soft rounds. While they cool, marshmallows are coated in orange sprinkles and topped with a pretzel half for a stem, then placed on the cookies for a festive fall dessert.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the oven following the temperature and time on the cookie dough package.

  3. Take one piece of cookie dough from the package and shape it into a ball.
  4. Put the dough ball on the prepared sheet and bake for the time specified on the package.
  5. While the cookies bake, coat each marshmallow with orange sprinkles. Insert half a pretzel stick into the top of each marshmallow to form a stem.
  6. Take the baked cookies out of the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes.
  7. Place one decorated marshmallow on top of each cookie and let them rest until the cookies are completely cool.
