  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 20 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar for coating

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden and fragrant. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin, browned butter, and sugar until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Shape dough into 1.5-inch balls, roll in cinnamon sugar, and place on prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until edges are golden. Cool on wire racks.

Notes

  • Ensure browned butter is cooled before mixing to prevent melting the sugars.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top before baking.
