Equipment

  • large cookie scoop

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter browned
  • cup Libby's Pumpkin Puree room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar packed
  • 2 large egg yolks room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ⅔ cup all-purpose flour see notes for measuring
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • cup granulated sugar for rolling
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for rolling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C. Line two baking trays with parchment paper and set them aside.
  • Brown the butter over medium heat in a large stainless steel pan, stirring occasionally.
  • Let the browned butter chill in the fridge for about 45-60 minutes until it reaches 70-75 F.
  • Soak up extra liquid from the pumpkin puree with paper towels until it feels dry.
  • Whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar into the cooled butter for 1 minute.
  • Whisk in the egg yolks, vanilla, and dried pumpkin puree.
  • Fold in the flour, pumpkin spice, salt, cream of tartar, and baking soda until just combined.
  • Chill the dough in the fridge for 5 minutes to firm up.
  • Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Roll dough into 3 tbsp-sized balls and coat in cinnamon sugar.
  • Place dough balls on the prepared baking sheet spaced 2-3 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
  • Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying.

Notes

Measure your flour properly using the spoon-level method for best results. Make sure the butter is cooled completely to achieve chewy texture.
