Chewy Pumpkin Spice Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
5. Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls and roll them in the remaining granulated sugar. Place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
