Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, browned and cooled
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • Instructions

    1. Brown the butter over medium heat until golden brown and nutty, then let cool.

    2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

    3. In a large bowl, whisk cooled brown butter, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.

    4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

    5. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined, avoiding overmixing.

    6. Fold in chocolate chips.

    7. Cover dough and chill for 30 minutes to prevent spreading and enhance chewiness.

    8. Using a cookie scoop, portion 2-tablespoon dough balls onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.

    9. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set and centers are soft.

    10. Allow cookies to rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
