Pumpkin Cookies

I made these cookies at the last minute in a pinch.  So glad I did.  Gone in minutes!

Pumpkin Cookies

1/4 cup granulated white sugar

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 egg yolks
2 t vanilla
1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 3/4 cups flour
1 T pumpkin pie spice
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt

In a small bowl for rolling the dough in, mix the sugar and spice together.  Set aside.

Preheat to 350.  Place pumpkin on a plate and absorb as much water out of it as you can with paper towels.

In a mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar.  Add the egg and vanilla and mix until fluffy.  Add the pumpkin.  Add in the remaining dry ingredients.

Scoop and roll the dough into balls (a little over an inch in size).  Roll in the sugar/spice mixture.

Bake for 12-14 minutes.  Enjoy!
