Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (100% pure)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter, stirring frequently until golden brown and nutty (about 5-7 minutes). Let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the browned butter and both sugars until well combined. Mix in the pumpkin puree until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them two inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for five minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
