1. Beat the softened butter with the brown and granulated sugars until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating on medium speed until fully emulsified and glossy.
3. Stir in the pumpkin puree until just combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
5. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter, mixing until no streaks of flour remain, taking care not to overmix.
6. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls.
7. Roll each ball in the mixture of 2 tbsp granulated sugar and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until evenly coated.
8. Place cookies on a lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 10 minutes, until edges are golden but centers still look slightly soft.
9. Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes to set.
