These pumpkin snickerdoodles start with pre-made cookie dough for ease. After baking, each cookie gets topped with a sprinkle-coated marshmallow and a pretzel half to look like a tiny pumpkin.

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 each marshmallow to form a stem.
  6. Take the 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.
