Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.
Add the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They also freeze well.
