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 cup + 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 your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
  2. In a stainless steel pan, melt the cold butter over medium heat until browned. Cool in the fridge for about an hour.
  3. Blot pumpkin puree on paper towels to remove excess moisture until it resembles dry playdough.
  4. Whisk cooled butter with granulated and brown sugars until combined, then mix in egg yolks, vanilla, and dried pumpkin.
  5. Gradually fold in flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, salt, and chocolate until just combined.
  6. Scoop dough onto prepared trays and bake for 9-13 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain slightly underbaked.
  7. Cool the cookies on a wire rack.
