Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Stir in the pumpkin puree.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. If using the topping, combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. If using the topping, roll each dough ball in the sugar-cinnamon mixture.
  9. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
