  4. In another bowl, mix cooled brown butter with brown sugar and maple syrup until well blended.
  5. Stir in the egg yolk and prepared pumpkin along with vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  7. Chill the dough 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 them in spiced sugar before placing them on the baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 12-14 minutes until puffed but soft; cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to racks.
