Ingredients

• 1 cup salted butter, browned
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (for rolling cookies)
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for rolling cookies)
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (for rolling cookies)

Directions

1. Brown butter in stovetop saucepan. To do this, heat butter on medium heat until simmering. Continue to heat, stirring frequently, until butter is fragrant and a medium dark brown. Brown butter should have flecks of dark brown specks – make sure you get all this into your cookie dough! These specks are cooked milk fat and pack a ton of flavor. This process takes approx 10-15 minutes.
2. After butter is browned, let it cool at room temperature for 30 minutes- butter will not be fully cooled at this point, but you do not want to work with scalding hot butter
3. Once brown butter is slightly cooled, preheat oven to 350
4. In a large mixing bowl, mix together browned butter and brown sugar until fully combined. Add in egg, maple syrup, and pumpkin puree and combine
5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice. Slowly mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
7. Scoop cookie dough into 1 ounce balls, roll dough into ball and roll in brown sugar, sugar, and pumpkin pie mixture.
8. After rolling dough balls in sugar mixture, place on cookie sheet and bake cookies at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.
9. Remove from oven, allow cookies to cool on cookie sheet for an additional 10 minutes, remove from cookie sheet and allow cookies to continue cooling.
10. Enjoy!
