Step-by-Step Instructions
- Melt 226 grams of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 5–7 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes.
- Combine the cooled brown butter with 200 grams of light brown sugar and 150 grams of granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Mix until smooth, then add 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 35 grams of molasses, and 56 grams of canned pumpkin puree. Stir until glossy.
- In another bowl, whisk together 295 grams of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1.5 teaspoons of cinnamon, 0.75 teaspoons of allspice, 0.25 teaspoons of cloves, and 0.25 teaspoons of ginger. Gradually fold into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Portion out 28–29 grams of dough and roll each into a ball. Place them on a lined baking sheet spaced 2 inches apart.
- Cover the dough balls with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix 50 grams of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Roll chilled dough balls in this mixture before baking.
- Place coated dough balls on a baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes until tops are dry but soft in cracks.
- Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
