Brown Butter & Maple Chewy Pumpkin Cookies will be your new favorite fall treat! These cookies are chewy, sweet, and have a delicious nutty flavor thanks to the brown butter.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • 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.
  • 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
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together browned butter and brown sugar until fully combined. Add in egg + yolk, maple syrup, and pumpkin puree and combine
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice. Slowly mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Chill cookie dough for 30 minutes, or up to two hours. Once dough is chilled, pre-heat oven to 350 Fahrenheit. 
  • In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • Scoop cookie dough into 1 ounce balls, roll dough into ball and roll in brown sugar, sugar, and pumpkin pie mixture.
  • After rolling dough balls in sugar mixture, place on cookie sheet and bake cookies at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.
  • 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.
  • Enjoy!
