Instructions

Place butter into a light colored saucepan (stainless steel would work) over medium heat. Stir until melted and then frequently with a rubber spatula for several minutes. Butter will start to foam up–keep stirring, continuing to scrape the bottom. As soon as the butter turns golden brown and you start to smell a nutty aroma and see brown specs, you have your brown butter. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
Blot pumpkin puree between paper towels to remove excess liquid. Blot until you have a ball of pumpkin dough (should have around a heaping 1/4 cup/75g once squeezed). Set aside.
In a separate bowl whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and salt.
Pour butter into a large bowl. Whisk in the sugar, brown sugar, egg yolk, vanilla and blotted pumpkin.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Chill for at least 30 minutes (or 2 hours if time allows).
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop dough into balls with a 1.5 Tbsp scoop (~40g), about a heaping tablespoon in size, and place on the baking sheet 1 inch apart. Flatten a little with your fingertips to encourage spreading.
Bake for about 12-15 minutes, until set in the middle and starting to brown along the edges. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Storage: store pumpkin cookies in airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
Freezing: let the baked cookies cool to room temperature and then store in an airtight ziplock bag. For best results, make sure to get all the air out to prevent freezer burn!
To freeze cookie dough: scoop cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet, then place in the freezer for 2 or more hours. Once frozen, transfer the frozen balls of dough to a large ziploc bag or freezer-safe container and store in the freezer until ready to use. When ready to eat, just take out however many you want (no need to thaw) and bake at the same temperature for the same time (you may need to add 1-2 extra minutes depending on how you like your cookies).
