Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup Libby’s Pumpkin Puree (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 large egg yolks (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 2/3 cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
  2. Brown the unsalted butter over medium heat until it has a nutty aroma. Let it cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together both sugars until they resemble wet sand. Add cooled brown butter, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and dried pumpkin puree; mix until combined.
  4. Gently fold in flour, pumpkin spice, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt until just incorporated.
  5. Roll dough into balls and coat with cinnamon-sugar mixture before placing on baking sheets spaced apart.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers remain puffy. Cool on wire racks before serving.
