Instructions

  1. Make brown butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown with bits forming at the bottom. Let it cool.

  5. Add egg yolk and pumpkin: Stir in egg yolk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and optional maple extract.
  6. Combine dry into wet: Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  7. Chill dough: Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  8. Preheat oven: Preheat to 350°F (177°C) and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Roll cookies: Form dough balls, roll them in spiced sugar mixture, and place on baking sheets.
  10. Bake: Bake for 12-14 minutes until slightly puffed; let cool on sheets before transferring to wire racks.
