Mix dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
Form the dough: Fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Shape cookies: Scoop dough into balls and roll in a mixture of white sugar and pumpkin pie spice before placing them on baking sheets.
