Preparation
- Brown the butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and allspice.
- Combine mixtures: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture. Stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
- Chill the dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare for baking: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Baking
- Create cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup of granulated sugar with 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
- Form cookies: Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough, roll into a ball, and coat in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Bake: Place on prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are set and centers are slightly soft.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let cool on sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Enjoy: Serve warm and watch them disappear!
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week. They can be frozen in a single layer for up to three months. To reheat, microwave for 10-15 seconds.
