Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.67 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large egg yolks, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2.33 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats

Glaze

  • 1.25 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1.5 to 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir constantly until the butter turns brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and pour into a large heat-proof bowl. Let it cool completely.
  • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spread the pumpkin puree on a plate and press paper towels firmly to absorb excess moisture.
  • Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, blotted pumpkin, egg yolks, and vanilla extract to the cooled brown butter. Mix well until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined.
  • Gently stir in the old-fashioned oats until evenly distributed in the dough.
  • Using a cookie scoop, portion out 3-tablespoon-sized balls of dough. Optionally, roll them for uniformity and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. The cookies will look slightly underbaked; this is perfect for a soft texture.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, brown sugar, milk, corn syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and allow it to set before serving. For a festive touch, consider sprinkling some chopped nuts or pumpkin seeds on top before the glaze sets!

Notes

For a festive touch, sprinkle some chopped nuts or pumpkin seeds on top of the glaze before it sets.
