These Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies deliver everything you want in a fall cookie with minimal effort. The brown butter secret makes them taste like you spent hours perfecting the recipe.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. Cook until the butter foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cooled browned butter, brown sugar, white sugar, pumpkin purée, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir just until the dough comes together. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to reduce spreading and enhance flavor.
Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool.
