Pumpkin Pie Cookies

It's almost Thanksgiving and I have some left-over Pumpkin still in the fridge from my Pumpkin Bread. SO I decided to bake up a batch of Pumpkin Cookies! These turned out soft and moist and SO full of pumpkin flavor!

Ingredients: (36 cookies)

2½ c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp salt
1½ c granulated sugar
½ c butter (1 stick), softened
1 c pure pumpkin
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract

Prep:

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease or line baking sheets with silicon liners.

2. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in medium bowl. Beat sugar and butter in large mixer bowl until well blended. Beat in pumpkin, egg and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually beat in flour mixture.

3. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto prepared baking sheets. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until edges are firm. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
