In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, using the whisk attachment, add the Butter, Sugar, Vanilla, and Egg, and blend until light and fluffy.
Add a couple of drops of the Orange Food Coloring Gel.
Place the Pumpkin in a bowl, and add the Cinnamon, and the 2 Tablespoons of sugar, and stir well.
Add the pumpkin mixture to the mixing bowl, and blend until smooth.
In a separate bowl, add the Flour, and Baking Powder, and stir well to blend.
Add the flour a little at a time and mix on low to blend, until all the flour is added. (If the cookie dough is a little sticky, add another 1/4 cup of flour until the dough is no longer sticky - continue to add a little more flour until the dough forms a ball, and is not sticky).
Remove the Whisk attachment, and use the paddle. Continue to blend the Cookie dough until it's completely blended and a smooth ball starts to form. Scrape down the mixing bowl as needed.
