Instructions

Prepare brown butter by melting it in a saucepan until golden brown, then cool.
Blot canned pumpkin to remove excess moisture.
In one bowl, combine flour, spice blend, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix cooled brown butter with brown sugar and maple syrup until blended. Add egg yolk, pumpkin, and vanilla extract.
Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Chill dough for at least 8 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Shape chilled dough into balls and roll in spiced granulated sugar before placing on lined baking sheets.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until slightly underbaked. Cool on sheets before transferring to a rack.
