Pumpkin Cookies

I always make these Pumpkin Cookies to kick off the holiday season in October!  I have been baking these cookies since high school with a girlfriend of mine and each October we check in with one another to make sure the oven has been baking these gems.
Plan Ahead Note: the butter needs to be softened and the egg should be at room temperature.
