Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the browned butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar, mixing until well combined.
Add the egg yolks, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips/chunks until evenly distributed in the dough.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden, then allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure the butter is browned before adding it to the mixture for a deeper flavor.
Let the pumpkin puree drain slightly if it’s too wet to avoid a soggy cookie texture.
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for several days.
