Preparation Steps

  • Start by browning the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden brown with a nutty smell, then pour into a bowl and cool completely.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Measure out ⅓ cup of pumpkin, blot with paper towels until clean, and it should measure about 3 tablespoons (50g).
  • In a stand mixer, combine browned butter and sugars, mix, then add pumpkin, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix again.
  • Mix in salt, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and flour on low until just combined.
  • Scoop dough into large balls using a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop, roll in sugar and spice mixture, and place on baking sheets.
  • Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes and allow to cool on the pan before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

Blotting the pumpkin helps achieve a less cakey and chewier cookie. Adjust pumpkin if dough feels crumbly for smoother consistency. Use grams for more precision, especially with flour.
