Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, a pinch of ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon of salt.

Beat together ½ cup of softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup of granulated sugar, and ¾ cup of brown sugar for about 2-3 minutes.

Add in 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.

In a small bowl, mix together ¼ cup of granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon for coating.

Roll dough into balls, coat in cinnamon sugar, and place on prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set.

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
