Baking Instructions

  • Brown the butter over medium heat in a large stainless steel pan, stirring occasionally until it smells nutty and has brown bits.
  • Let the butter cool and chill for 45-60 minutes until it measures 70-75 F.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
  • Soak up excess liquid from the pumpkin puree with paper towels until it feels dry like playdough.
  • Whisk brown sugar and granulated sugar into the cooled butter for 1 minute until it resembles wet sand.
  • Whisk in the egg yolks, vanilla, and pumpkin puree.
  • Fold in flour, pumpkin spice, salt, cream of tartar, and baking soda until combined. Chill dough for 5 minutes.
  • Combine cinnamon and granulated sugar in a small bowl. Scoop dough into 3 tbsp-sized balls and roll in cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and center is puffy. Cool on a wire rack.

Notes

Use the spoon-level method to measure flour for best results. Ensure butter is cooled completely to avoid flat cookies.
