Baking Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
• Beat in the egg, then add the pumpkin puree, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
• Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined.
• Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
