Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Brown the butter by melting it in a medium saucepan over medium heat for 5-8 minutes until nutty.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
  4. Combine wet ingredients: mix dark brown sugar with cooled brown butter, then add egg yolk, maple syrup, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
  5. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. Chill dough if too thin for 20 minutes.
  6. Shape the cookies into 1 tablespoon balls, coat in sugar and cinnamon mix, and place on baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden at edges but still soft in the center. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes.
