Brown Butter Pumpkin Cookies are a chewy, gooey fall dessert favorite that combines the rich flavor of brown butter with pumpkin and chocolate chips, perfect for autumn cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (browned)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter Like a Pro: In a saucepan, cook the butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden brown with a nutty aroma.
  2. Whisk It All Together: Let the browned butter cool slightly, then mix with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Add in pumpkin purée, egg yolk, and vanilla.
  3. Make That Spiced Dough Magic: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Slowly mix into wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  4. Load Up the Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips and chill the dough for 30 minutes.
  5. Scoop, Bake & Sprinkle: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough onto lined baking sheet, press a few chocolate chips on top, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough helps achieve thick and chewy cookies.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for freshness.
