Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until it foams and turns golden brown, releasing a nutty aroma.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the browned butter (cooled slightly), pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture while stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing for tender cookies.
  5. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to enhance flavor and texture.
  6. Bake Your Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the sheet about two inches apart. Bake for around 10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  7. Enjoy: Transfer to plates and savor warm with your favorite hot beverage or share at gatherings.
