Delightful cookies blending warm brown butter and spiced pumpkin flavors, perfect for fall gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, browned
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup sugar, for rolling
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon, for rolling
Instructions
- Start by browning the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it turns a lovely golden brown color and smells nutty. Remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, sugar, brown sugar, and pumpkin puree. Mix until well blended.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Gradually combine the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined. Chill the dough for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon for rolling.
- Scoop out the chilled dough, roll it into balls, and coat each ball with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
These cookies can be frozen for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature and reheat in the oven for a few minutes to regain texture.
