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

Instructions

  1. Start by making the brown butter: melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown bits form. Allow it to cool.
  2. Prepare the pumpkin by blotting excess moisture from canned pumpkin.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, spice blend, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, mix cooled brown butter with light brown sugar and maple syrup until well combined. Add egg yolk, pumpkin puree, and vanilla; mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually combine dry ingredients with the wet mixture until just blended.
  6. Chill dough covered in plastic wrap for at least 8 hours.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Scoop and roll chilled dough into balls; coat in sugar and spice mix before placing on lined baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes until set but soft in the center. Cool on sheets before transferring to racks.
