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 c (100g) granulated sugar for coating
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin or chai spice blend for coating

Instructions

  1. Make the brown butter by melting it in a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat until it foams and brown bits form. Pour it into a clean bowl and let it cool to room temperature.
  2. Blot 1/2 cup of canned pumpkin with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together your flour, pumpkin spice blend, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  4. In a large bowl, mix together your cooled brown butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup until smooth. Stir in your egg yolk until fully incorporated.
  5. Add the prepared pumpkin and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and combine well.
  6. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just mixed.
  7. Chill the dough covered in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Roll chilled dough into balls and coat in spiced sugar mixture before placing on sheets.
  10. Bake for 12-14 minutes, then cool on the sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
