1/2 cup melted butter, cooled slightly
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp cloves
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Form cookie dough into a ball, wrap in waxed paper, and refrigerate for at least two hours or up to overnight.

Scoop out dough by large teaspoon and shape into balls about the size of a small walnut. Thoroughly coat the balls in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Arrange two inches apart on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. You want the cookies to be slightly underbaked for the center will remain soft. Remove from heat and allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 2 - 3 minutes. Remove from the cookie sheet and dip the warm cookie into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Allow to cool completely on wire rack. Store in air tight container.
