Brown Butter Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

Dessert of the day 🍂🎃

Ingredients

*For the Brown Butter:

- 1 cup unsalted butter

**For the Cookies:

- 1 cup brown sugar

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree

- 1 large egg

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar

- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

*For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Brown the Butter:

- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir frequently until it foams and turns a golden brown color, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

2. Mix the Dough:

- In a large bowl, combine the brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth.

- Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

3. Chill the Dough:

- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.

4. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar:

- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

5. Preheat the Oven:

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

6. Shape the Cookies:

- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

7. Bake:

- Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.

- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. They will continue to firm up as they cool.

8. Cool:

- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
