Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, 1.5 teaspoons of cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
• In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar and melted butter. Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms.
• In a small bowl, mix the remaining half cup of sugar with half a tablespoon of cinnamon.
• Roll the dough into 1.5 inch balls and coat each with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
• Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet and flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are set and edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
