Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ cups dark brown sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Begin by browning the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it reaches a deep amber color and develops a nutty aroma. Let cool for about 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the cooled brown butter and dark brown sugar until well combined. Add the egg yolk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree; whisk until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Roll tablespoon-sized balls of dough in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon before placing them on the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
