Ingredients for the Cookies:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg

Ingredients for the Cinnamon Icing:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix until well blended.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
5. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
6. While the cookies cool, prepare the cinnamon icing by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth.
7. Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the icing over the top of each cookie. Let the icing set before serving.
