Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (220g) unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups (280g) dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (80g) pumpkin puree
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (for coating)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns amber and develops a nutty aroma. Allow to cool for 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In one bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices. In another bowl, mix cooled brown butter with dark brown sugar until clumpy. Add egg yolk, maple syrup, and pumpkin puree; combine until smooth.
  4. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. If dough is too soft, chill for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Scoop dough into balls and roll in a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon before placing on the baking sheet with space in between.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are slightly darkened but centers remain puffed.
