Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting, which helps them incorporate evenly.
- Refrigerate the cookie dough for about 30 minutes before baking for easier handling and optimal chewiness.
- Use fresh spices to enhance the flavor of your pumpkin snickerdoodles.
- For even-sized cookies, use a cookie scoop to portion the dough.
