Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 c (270g) all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp pumpkin or chai spice blend
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 c (226g) European style unsalted butter, browned and cool but still liquid
  • 1 c (200g) light brown sugar
  • 1/3 c (79ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1/2 c (125g) canned pumpkin, blotted
  • 2 tsp (10ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) maple extract, optional
  • 1/2 c (100g) granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin or chai spice blend (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a clear heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat. Whisk continuously until brown bits form at the bottom. Pour into a clean bowl and let cool for about 30 minutes.
  2. Lay 2-3 paper towels across a wide bowl. Scoop 1/2 cup of canned pumpkin onto the towels to absorb excess water. Squeeze out any remaining moisture before using.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, spice blend, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  4. Stir together cooled brown butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup until fully incorporated. Add the egg yolk and mix well. Stir in the pumpkin purée along with vanilla and optional maple extract.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until just combined. Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Remove chilled dough from the fridge after sitting at room temperature for 30 minutes. Mix sugar with spice blend for coating. Use a cookie scoop to portion out dough balls; roll them in spiced sugar mixture.
  8. Place dough balls on prepared sheets about 2-3 inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for about 3-5 minutes before transferring them to cooling racks to cool completely.
