Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup Libby’s Pumpkin Puree (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 large egg yolks (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 2/3 cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
  2. In a large stainless steel pan, brown the butter over medium heat. Stir occasionally until it foams, pops, and develops a nutty aroma. Remove from heat.
  3. Let the browned butter cool to about 70-75°F.
  4. Spread the pumpkin puree onto a plate. Use paper towels to absorb excess liquid until you have roughly 1/3 cup of dry pumpkin.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together the cooled butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until it resembles wet sand.
  6. Add in the egg yolks, vanilla, and dried pumpkin puree. Mix well.
  7. Gradually fold in flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt until combined. Chill the dough for about 5-10 minutes if it feels too soft.
  8. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  9. Scoop the dough into 3 tbsp-sized balls, rolling them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture before placing them onto the prepared baking sheet spaced 2-3 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are slightly underbaked. Allow them to cool on a wire rack, and enjoy!

Notes

For a twist, consider adding white chocolate chips or pecans. For chewy cookies, cool the butter sufficiently before mixing.
