Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar (for that rich flavor)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1-1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp. ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp. ground cloves
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. When the butter is melted, continue cooking until it turns golden brown, releasing a nutty aroma.
- To prevent burning, swirl the pan frequently. Let the cooled browned butter cool in a bowl.
- Combine the canned pumpkin puree and both sugars in a separate bowl.
- Mix well, then add the browned butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and velvety.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves) in another bowl.
- Mix this dry mixture into your wet ingredients until just combined. If you're using chocolate chips and rolled oats, fold them in last.
- Oats should be generously sprinkled throughout the dough.
- In a pre heated oven line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place rounded tablespoons of dough on the sheets, leaving plenty of room for the cookies to spread.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. The cookies will still be soft in the center as they cool, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
- Enjoy your freshly baked Brown Butter Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookie.
