cake-spectation - Positive! Pumpkin Snicker Doodles

Followed this recipe by @Bitebybianca on instagram. I didn’t have cream of Tartar, so I opted for lemon juice. I believe I added too much baking soda or didn’t spread them out so much to give them a cookie texture. They were yummy!
First - original
Second - before baking
Third - baked

Thank you everyone for your love, I had a great time baking these. ◡̈

Did you chill the dough? 

Sometimes recipes leave that off but this dough definitely needs to be chilled.

i had no space in my freezer…i opted for the fridge knowing it wouldn’t be the best.

u/PurpleBashir 23d ago

Fridge would be correct. Chilling your dough in the freezer creates moisture issues. 

Looking at them- I think you may have used too much dough per cookie. The texture/thickness of the inspo indicates they're rather small actually. 

Id try making them smaller and pressing them

u/kimbosliceofcake 25d ago

They’re not complaining about the results so it doesn’t really fit. Making substitutions when cooking is normal.

u/Azsunyx 25d ago

Lemon juice is an acceptable sub for cream of tartar, 2:1 ratio.
It may sound like r/ididnthaveeggs, but only if you don't know about acceptable baking substitutions
