Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (122g) pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg (50g)
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (188g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (3g) baking soda
- 1/2 tsp (1g) salt
- 1 1/2 tsp (4g) ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp (2g) pumpkin pie spice
- 1 1/2 cups (135g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup (125g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp (30ml) pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp (15ml) milk
- 1/4 tsp (1g) cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place 113g unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Melt and cook, stirring constantly, until deep golden brown bits form at the bottom and a nutty aroma develops. Remove from heat immediately and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Spread 122g pumpkin puree on a plate lined with paper towels and press another paper towel on top to blot out excess moisture.
- Whisk the cooled browned butter with 100g light brown sugar and 50g granulated sugar until smooth. Stir in the blotted pumpkin, 1 large egg, and 5ml vanilla extract, beating until velvety.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 188g all-purpose flour, 3g baking soda, 1g salt, 4g ground cinnamon, and 2g pumpkin pie spice. Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula, then stir in 135g old-fashioned rolled oats.
- Allow the dough to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to hydrate the oats.
- Scoop about 2 rounded tablespoons (about 32 g) of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 11–13 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft.
- Cool the cookies on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk together 125g powdered sugar, 30ml maple syrup, 15ml milk, and 1g cinnamon until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the completely cooled cookies.
