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. Start by preparing brown butter: melt butter over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant. Allow it to cool.
  2. Blot canned pumpkin on paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, spice blend, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, mix cooled brown butter with brown sugar and maple syrup until combined. Add egg yolk, pumpkin puree, and vanilla; mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually combine dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. Chill dough for at least 8 hours.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Roll chilled dough into balls, then coat in spiced sugar mixture before placing them on the baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown and slightly underbaked in the center.
