Pumpkin Crinkle Cookies in 29 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice in a medium bowl until no clumps remain.
2. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
3. Beat in the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and creamy.
4. Gradually fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients on low speed just until the flour streaks disappear.
5. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll them into 1-inch balls.
6. Roll each ball in granulated sugar to absorb excess surface moisture, then roll heavily in powdered sugar until coated in a white sphere.
7. Place balls 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–14 minutes.
8. Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
