Instructions
1
In a medium bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
2
Add the pumpkin, egg, and vanilla and beat to combine.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and pumpkin spice. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and beat to combine.
4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
5
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6
Combine the sugar, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
7
Use a cookie scoop to scoop out the dough and roll it into a ball between your hands. Roll the cookies in the sugar mixture and place on a baking sheet. Press each cookie down slightly with your fingers.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
9
Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for five minutes, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Brown Your Butter First 🧈Melt butter until it's golden brown before mixing into your wet ingredients to add a rich, nutty depth that elevates the pumpkin spice flavor profile significantly.
- Chill Dough Before Baking 🧊Refrigerate your dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading and ensure chewy centers with defined edges, plus the flavors will develop and intensify.
- Don't Overmix Your Dry Ingredients 🌾Gently fold flour, baking soda, and baking powder together rather than whisking to avoid overdeveloping gluten, which keeps cookies tender instead of cake-like.
- Use Pure Pumpkin Puree Only 🎃Always choose 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, as the latter contains added sugars and spices that will throw off your recipe's balance and texture.
- Underbake Slightly for Chewiness 🍪Remove cookies when edges are set but centers still look slightly underdone—they'll continue cooking on the baking sheet and develop that signature soft, chewy texture as they cool.
