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
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter over medium heat until it reaches a rich amber color. Chill for 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
  4. In another bowl, combine the cooled brown butter and dark brown sugar until clumpy. Mix in the egg yolk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
  5. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula. If the dough is too thin, chill for an additional 15–20 minutes.
  6. Scoop dough balls into a cinnamon-sugar mixture and coat them lightly.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are slightly darkened and centers puff up but appear underdone. Cool on a rack before serving.
