Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80g) 100% pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg (50g)
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5g) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5g) salt
  • 2 tsp (5g) pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Place the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Melt and cook, stirring frequently, until the milk solids turn a deep golden brown and smell toasted and nutty. Immediately remove from heat and pour into a mixing bowl.
  2. Whisk the browned butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until combined. Stir in the blotted pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula just until no streaks of flour remain; do not overmix.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls.
  7. Combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  8. Place cookies on a parchment-lined sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and the bottoms are lightly browned.
