A great cookie for Fall, this Snickerdoodle is flavored with pumpkin and filled with cream cheese. Cookies are wonderful all year round, and it's wonderful when you can add something to them to make them festive for the season.

Snickerdoodles have always been one of my favorite cookies. When I saw these from The Recipe Critic I knew I had to make them because they are perfect to serve for the Fall.

It definitely feels like and looks like Fall in northern New Hampshire. The leaves on the trees are absolutely gorgeous and if you've never experienced Fall in New England, I highly recommend it. The colors are stunning.
I have to say that I am very glad we've had the chance to experience the foliage this past year because it is definitely something I missed while living in Arizona. I probably won't be seeing it again for quite a while since we're moving back in two weeks, so I'm soaking it up as much as I can!
