Key Recipe Ingredients Salted Butter – The melted salt butter adds richness and flavor to our snickerdoodle cookies and also helps to keep them wonderfully moist and chewy. Pumpkin Puree – We use 1/4 cup of pure pumpkin puree to infuse these snickerdoodle cookies with a lovely, warm, autumn flavor. Real Molasses – Molasses adds a depth of flavor to these cookies that can’t be matched. Make sure to use real molasses. Pumpkin Pie Spice and Ground Cinnamon – These warm spices are essential for achieving that classic pumpkin spice flavor. Optional Cinnamon Chips – For an extra burst of cinnamon flavor, we’ve added cinnamon chips to the dough. These are seasonal, so grab them when you can! Substitutions And Variations Here are some of our favorite substitution and variation ideas: Chocolate Chips: If you can’t find cinnamon chips, milk chocolate chips or white chocolate chips would be a great substitute. Add-Ins: Try adding toffee bits, roasted chopped pecans, or white chocolate chips like we do in our Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies. Spices: Feel fre to add a bit more cinnamon, or add 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg or allspice for extra fall spices. Step-By-Step Recipe Instructions Combine wet ingredients in one bowl and dry ingredients in another. Fold the wet and dry ingredients together until no dry streaks remain. Add cinnamon chips, if using, and fold to incorporate. Wrap dough airtight and chill in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight. Form dough balls and dip them in the cinnamon-sugar coating. Flatten the dough balls and bake for 9-10 minutes at 350F. Immediately sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar on top of the baked cookies. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. For full list of ingredients and instructions, see recipe card below. How To Prep Ahead Here are some of our favorite prep-ahead strategies for these delicious cookies: Make and Refrigerate Dough: The cookie dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Wrap dough airtight and chill in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. Make Ahead Entirely: Cookies are best eaten after completely cooled but they’re even better the next day. Store them in an airtight container at all times. Freeze the Dough: The baked cookies freeze well. Freeze the dough for 1-2 months. You can also form dough balls and freeze them in a wax lined container. Chewy Pumpkin Snickerdoodles are packed with pumpkin goodness and delicious fall spices in every bite! Commonly Asked Questions What type of pumpkin puree should I use for these snickerdoodles? You can use any type of pure pumpkin puree for this recipe, whether it’s homemade or canned. Just make sure it’s 100% pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. Do I have to chill the dough? Yes, it’s important to chill the dough for at least 1 hour, or even overnight. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and also prevents the cookies from spreading too much in the oven, which helps to maintain their chewy texture. Why did my cookies turn out cakey instead of chewy? If your cookies turned out cakey, it’s likely because they were over-baked or the measurements were slightly off. Be sure to stick to the recommended baking time of 9-10 minutes. The cookies will still be puffy when you remove them from the oven, but they will set as they cool, resulting in a deliciously chewy texture. How do I store the cookies? These chewy pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want them to last longer, you can store them in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze them for 1-2 months.

2025 Triumph Speed Twin 900 in Pure White In 2024, we tested Triumph’s new Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X powered by a single-cylinder engine and priced at $4,995 and $5,595 respectively, so the Triumph Speed Twin 900 is no longer the entry-level option in the Modern Classics lineup. For 2025, the Speed Twin 900 is updated with freshened styling, improved suspension and brakes, and more technology, providing a sophisticated step up from the 400s.  2025 Triumph Speed Twin 900 in Pure White Styling updates include a more sculpted tank, chiseled side panels, and updated throttle-body covers. The muffler is now shorter, and the headlight unit is more compact. The bike gets a new aluminum flip-up filler cap and a simpler design for the footpegs.  The Speed Twin 900 features a new aluminum flip-up fuel cap. Updates to the chassis start with the suspension. Replacing the previous conventional fork is a Marzocchi inverted fork, and in the rear are twin Marzocchi shocks with piggyback reservoirs. Adjustment is limited to rear preload, and rear wheel travel has been slightly reduced from 4.7 inches to 4.3 inches. Also new is a stiffer and lighter aluminum swingarm.  The Speed Twin 900’s brakes also get updated for 2025. The previous axial-mounted front caliper is replaced by a Triumph-branded 4-piston radial caliper pinching a 320mm disc. In the rear is a Nissin 2-piston floating caliper biting a 255mm disc. The bike is fitted with Michelin Road Classic tires on the 18-inch front and 17-inch rear cast-aluminum wheels.  The Speed Twin 900’s new cast-aluminum wheels are wrapped in Michelin Road Classic tires.

New instrumentation includes an LCD display to show speed, rpm, and gear, paired with an integrated TFT display for extra info like riding modes.

A Kentucky man found himself in a terrifying scenario when he woke up on an operating table as doctors prepared to harvest his organs. Thomas “T.J.” Hoover was declared brain-dead after overdosing on drugs and transported to Baptist Health Richmond Hospital in October 2021. Natasha Miller, one of the individuals whose job was to preserve donated organs for transplantation at the hospital, told NPR that Hoover seemed ‘very much alive’ when wheeled into the operating room. “He was moving around — kind of thrashing. Like, moving, thrashing around on the bed,” Miller told the publication. “And then when we went over there, you could see he had tears coming down. He was crying visibly,” Miller added. “Man comes ‘back to life’ as surgeons began the process of harvesting his body parts after they determined he was de*d. Kentucky man TJ Hoover II was thrashing on the table & ‘crying visibly’ as doctors prepared to remove his organs. Before the process, the family raised concerns that Hoover was alive because his eyes seemed open and he looked around while being wheeled to the operating room,” Collin Rugg wrote. “They were told that it was a ‘common reflex.’ Hoover had been declared ‘brain de*d’ after an overdose. When Hoover started thrashing and crying, he was sedated and doctors *still* planned on going forward with the organ recovery, according to NPR. The transplant was ultimately cancelled leading to several employees quitting,” he continued. “The Kentucky Attorney General and US Health Services Resources Administration are now reportedly investigating the incident,” he added.

I don’t want to have anything to do with it,’ ” Miller says. “It was very chaotic. Everyone was just very upset.” Miller says she overheard the case coordinator at the hospital for her employer, Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates (KODA), call her supervisor for advice. “So the coordinator calls the supervisor at the time. And she was saying that he was telling her that she needed to ‘find another doctor to do it’ – that, ‘We were going to do this case. She needs to find someone else,’ ” Miller says. “And she’s like, ‘There is no one else.’ She’s crying — the coordinator — because she’s getting yelled at.” The organ retrieval was canceled. But some KODA workers say they later quit over the October 2021 incident, including another organ preservationist, Nyckoletta Martin. “I’ve dedicated my entire life to organ donation and transplant. It’s very scary to me now that these things are allowed to happen and there’s not more in place to protect donors,” says Martin. Terrified organ donor came back to life and thrashed as surgeons prepared to harvest his body parts, witnesses say https://t.co/jkRSce3cDZ pic.twitter.com/wmPzuH5D4G — Daily Mail Online (@MailOnline) October 17, 2024 “A former employee of a nonprofit organ recovery group claims she was asked to harvest organs from a person who was still living – and then fired after airing her qualms to members of Congress. Nyckoletta Martin told the Wall Street Journal she was let go by organ collection group KentuckyOrgan Donor Affiliates on September 13. Days before, a letter she wrote to the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee was read and discussed on the House floor, after it alleged that there is currently outsized pressure on organ collectors, according to the Daily Mail,” Liz Crokin wrote. “Singling out the organ-procurement group KODA, she recalled being pressured to retrieve organs from a patient before he died while he was awake and allegedly pleaded for his life. He later left the facility alive, Martin said – choosing not to name him. KODA is one of 56 federally chartered nonprofits tasked with procuring organs for transplant. A spokesperson said the firm ‘strictly adheres’ to laws and national guidelines set in place by the US government. Organ harvesting and trafficking go hand-in-hand with human trafficking,” she added.

The letter went on to claim that when a surgeon refused an officials’ order, Martin and other workers were ordered to find a different surgeon who would do it willingly. They refused as well, she said – allowing the patient to later leave alive after he recovered. The patient’s condition and malady was not made clear by what was read, as other statements sent by alleged witnesses saying they have witnessed similar activity were read as well. All insisted that procurement groups in various states – like KODA – have begun to push workers and surgeons to take organs from patients who were still alive. A liver transplant surgeon at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Robert Cannon, told the committee how he was allegedly told to procure organs from a spontaneously breathing patient, which he said ‘would have been murder.’ Greg Segal, head of an advocacy group that seeks to reform the organ procurement process, alleged another Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) had given potential organ donors doses of fentanyl to hasten their deaths.
