Pumpkin Cookies

1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 can pumpkin (15 oz)
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon vanilla

Cream butter, sugar, and egg. Add the pumpkin and mix well. Add all other ingredients and mix together for several minutes. Batter will be soft. Drop by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet and bake at 8-10 minutes until just set. Allow to cool for a minute of two before removing from cookie sheet.

Comments: This makes a really yummy soft pumpkin cookie. Very moist! They also make great whoopie pies with cream cheese frosting. I found that it works out best when I use a cookie scoop to get them all the same size (and I don't get as sticky) and parchment paper lets me slide one sheet off and move on to the next batch without waiting. My oven takes about 9 minutes and I pull them when the tops start losing their give. Leave them in longer if you like a drier cookie.
