Libby's Old Fashioned Soft Pumpkin Cookies

During October I bought a couple cans of pumpkin with the idea of making pumpkin cookies for Halloween. It got put off and then when I actually looked at the recipe I noticed I was missing way too many ingredients. I bought all the ingredients, but I had a new mission. I wasn't going to bake these for my family, but for my husband's cousin who is in boot camp. He has to provide sweets for his whole squadron(?) or his sergeant(?) will take them all. Anyways, here's the recipe!

Ingredients

* 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
* 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
* 1 cup LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
* 1 large egg
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract





PREHEAT oven to 350° F.

COMBINE flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in medium bowl.
