Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (220g) unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups (280g) dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (80g) pumpkin puree
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (for coating)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Begin by browning 1 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat until it reaches a rich amber color. Pour into a measuring cup and chill for about 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and spices (1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 tsp cinnamon).
  4. In a large bowl, mix the chilled brown butter with 1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar until smooth. Add in 1 egg yolk, 3 tbsp maple syrup, and 1/3 cup pumpkin puree; mix until combined.
  5. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. If too thin, chill for an additional 15-20 minutes.
  6. Scoop dough into balls, roll in a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon, then place on prepared baking sheet about 3 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain slightly underdone.
  8. Let cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
