These cookies go together quickly. Here is what you do.
- Brown the butter by adding 1 cup of butter to a medium skillet on medium heat. Watch carefully, stirring frequently just until the butter turns an amber color. Then, promptly remove the skillet from the heat.
- Pour the butter into a glass measuring cup and place in the fridge to cool for 15-20 minutes. To speed up the cooling process, place the glass measuring cup over a bowl of ice, cooling just until the butter reaches room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F., then line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Add the brown sugar to a medium bowl. Then, pour in the brown butter and stir to combine.
- Add egg yolk, maple syrup, vanilla, and pumpkin puree to the bowl. Stir well until fully combined.
- Add the remaining dry ingredients, mixing well to incorporate.
- In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Use a 2 oz cookie scoop to scoop out the dough. Then, use clean hands to roll into a ball. Place the dough ball into the sugar and spice mixture, rolling until fully coated.
- Place coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Then, use your hand or the bottom of a measuring cup to slightly flatten each dough ball.
- Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. Leave cookies on the baking sheet for 5 additional minutes before transferring them with a spatula to a cooling rack to finish the cooling process.
