These irresistible brown butter pumpkin cookies with white chocolate are the perfect treat for cozy autumn days, combining nutty brown butter, warm pumpkin spices, and creamy white chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: In a light-colored saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring frequently. Continue cooking until the butter foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat until smooth. Add the egg yolk, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract, then mix until well combined.
  3. Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice.
  4. Form the dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
  5. Chill the dough: Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes. This step helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
  6. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Shape the cookies: Scoop the chilled dough into balls, about 1 ½ tablespoons each, and place them on the cookie sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are lightly golden. Don’t overbake—they’ll continue to firm up as they cool.
  9. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Don’t rush browning the butter; keep the heat at medium and stir constantly to avoid burning.’, ‘Use room temperature ingredients for better consistency.’, ‘Chill the dough to enhance flavor and prevent spreading during baking.’, ‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies.’, ‘Test bake a single cookie to determine the perfect timing for your oven.’]
