Ingredients
115 g butter
250 g sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
1 egg yolk
65 g pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon vanilla
200 g flour
1 ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
130 g chocolate chips (chopped chocolate etc.)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Continue cooking the butter until the milk solids brown. Remove from heat and let cool slightly
Step 2
In a stand mixer or by hand, combine cool brown butter, sugar, molasses, egg yolk, and pumpkin puree. Mix until well combined
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients–– flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4
Add the dry ingredients into the wet, and mix until just combined.
Step 5
Add chocolate chips or chopped chocolate to the dough. Mix on slow until just combined.
Step 6
Portion cookies out into balls on a baking sheet. (I make 75g portions, making ~10 cookies)
Step 7
Optional but highly recommended: chill in the fridge for 1-2. This ensures a thicker and softer cookie
Step 8
Preheat oven to 350F/180C
Step 9
Bake cookies for 13-15 minutes until the edges begin to brown and the middle is set. Remove from the heat
Step 10
Optional: reshape each cookie before they are completely cooled and top with flakey salt.
Step 11
Let cool slightly (or don't, I don't blame you), and enjoy! Bon appetit!
