Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat.

Combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Mix well.

In another bowl beat the pumpkin pie spice, butter, and sugar together with a mixer until creamy. Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture until just combined.

Drop by the spoonful onto the silpat mat lined baking sheet; flatten slightly. Place into the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
