Let’s make some Cookies :

Start by creaming together the butter , pumpkin and both sugars. Mix until nice and fluffy . Now add all of the dry ingredients, no need to mix in a separate bowl  . Mix until a dough forms and chill for an hour.

Once the dough is chilled scoop out about a tablespoon and form a ball. Roll the dough in a cinnamon and sugar mixture.

Place the coated dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart . Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.

Cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes and ten transfer to a cooling rack.

Store in a sealed container , if they last that long.
