Why won't my snickerdoodles spread out?

So I tried making pumpkin spice snickerdoodles and the taste was great, so I'd like to get the texture right. Typically when I make these I take them out of the oven after a few minutes and tap them on the counter to get them to spread out and get the crinkle on top instead of being puffy. These refused to cooperate. What can I do to make them less puffy and cakey next time while still making them pumpkin spice? I'm basic and I can't help it.

Cinnamon bread swirl hole

Hello all! I've been wanting to learn how to make some bread for the house and stumbled accross this cinnamon swirl bread recipie from the DnD cookbook. I tweaked the recipie a bit by doubling the butter and honey to make it more moist and sweet. However I'm not sure how to prevent the swirl from separating itself in the center. I tried rolling the dough tighter for the second rise but it didn't quite help. Same issue happened using the original recipie measurements.

Baking ideas for sweet whipping cream...

I accidentally bought the wrong type of whipping cream to use in my sauces. It contains sugar and I found out the sad way when my savoury dish tasted weirdly sweet. In what ways can I use this cream? It's meant for making fresh cream that is used for cake decorating, but I don't bake cakes (my oven is too small and I've only baked small pastries, cookies, etc. before) I have tried using it as a creamer in beverages, but it was too oily. Any baking ideas for making use of this sweetened whipping cream? There is 1kg of it so I don't wish for it to go to waste. Thanks!
