- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)

- 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
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
- Brown the butter: Brown the butter in a large pan until nutty and browned. Cool in the fridge until liquid but cool.
- Prepare the pumpkin: Dry out the pumpkin puree by pressing out excess liquid with paper towels.
- Mix the wet ingredients: Whisk the cooled brown butter with sugars until pale, then add egg yolks, vanilla, and pumpkin.
- Combine the dry ingredients: Fold in the flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips.
- Shape and bake: Scoop and roll the dough into balls, place on trays, and bake until golden with slightly underbaked centers.
- Cool and enjoy: Shape the cookies with a cutter while warm, then cool completely on a wire rack.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
Notes
- For best results, measure the flour by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling off with a knife.
- Feel free to add chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra texture and flavor.
- If you prefer a less sweet cookie, reduce the sugar slightly.
