Add the oil and sugars to a standing mixer and beat for 2 minutes.
½ Cup Vegetable Oil, ½ Cup White Sugar, ⅔ Cup Light Brown Sugar
Add the egg and beat for 30 seconds.
1 Large Egg
Add the pumpkin and vanilla and mix on low, gradually increasing the speed until smooth.

Notes

If you don't have Pumpkin Spice

1 3/4 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/8 Teaspoon Ground Cloves

Pumpkin cookies are very soft and cake like, so when storing you'll want to place them in an even layer at the bottom of a large cake pan or Tupperware. Place a sheet of parchment on top, add more cookies and then cover with saran wrap. Doing too many layers will weigh down that bottom layer too much.
