Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 large egg yolks (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 2/3 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup finely chopped chocolate bar or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
  2. In a stainless steel pan, brown the cold butter until it develops a nutty aroma. Chill until it reaches about 75°F.
  3. Blot pumpkin puree on paper towels to remove excess moisture, then measure approximately 1/3 cup.
  4. Whisk together the cooled browned butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add egg yolks, vanilla extract, and dried pumpkin puree; mix well.
  6. Fold in flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips until just combined.
  7. Use a cookie scoop to form dough balls and place them on prepared trays.
  8. Bake for about 9–13 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain slightly underbaked. Cool completely on a wire rack.
