Description
Soft, chewy pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies made with browned butter, warm spices, and perfectly dried pumpkin puree for the ultimate fall treat.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter
2/3 cup Libby’s Pumpkin Puree (room temperature)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar (packed)
2 large egg yolks (room temperature)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 2/3 cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C. Line two baking trays with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Brown the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden with brown bits and a nutty aroma.
3. Pour the browned butter into a glass measuring cup and chill for 45-60 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes, until cool but still liquid.
4. Spread the pumpkin puree on a plate and press paper towels into it to remove excess moisture until reduced to about 1/3 cup.
5. Whisk the cooled butter with the granulated and brown sugars for 1 minute.
6. Whisk in the egg yolks, vanilla, and dried pumpkin puree.
7. Fold in the flour, pumpkin spice, salt, cream of tartar, and baking soda until just combined. Chill dough for 5 minutes.
8. Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Scoop dough into 3 tbsp balls and roll in the mixture.
9. Place dough balls on the baking sheet 2-3 inches apart.
10. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are puffy but slightly underbaked.
11. Cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
Freeze dough balls for up to 3 months and thaw before baking.
If dough is sticky, chill longer.
Try adding white chocolate chips or nuts for variation.
