instructions
1. In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt. Set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, granulated sugar & brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla and mix well.

3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture. Mix until fully incorporated. *Dough will be sticky!

4. The easiest way to scoop the dough is using a cookie scoop. You can also use a spoon, but the cookies will not turn out as uniform in size. Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes.

5. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and prepare cream cheese frosting. Frost generously and sprinkle with cinnamon. Enjoy!
