Pumpkin Snicker Doodles

From September to November everything I make involved pumpkin.  EVERYTHING.  Pumpkin yogurt, pumpkin pie, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin smoothies, pumpkin squares, pumpkin pumpkin and more pumpkin!

In the spring I came upon these White Chocolate Pumpkin Snickerdoodles from Sally's Baking Addiction.  Of course I pinned it!  Pumpkin cookies....I couldn't pass them up! When she says they deserve a standing ovation she's not kidding.  

Since it was October, I decided to make them for my bake sale. Well of course (being a new recipe) I had to do a trial run...  BAD IDEA!!  I have this problem where I sample devour the dough. Before a single snicker doodle was baked over half the dough was gone.  WARNING: do not sample the dough! (unless you want to eat it all...)

When I finally got a batch baked, you guessed it!  Yep, I tried one a dozen of them too!  Let's just say by the time my family came in only a couple cookies were left.  Whoops!
