THE GOLD LINING GIRL

Hello, friends! How’s everybody? Today we are chugging along with more pumpkin things. Are you sick of it yet? Good. Me neither! I’m going to level with you… these are cakey pumpkin cookies. Because, as of right now, I don’t have a perfect chewy pumpkin cookie recipe that I really love. But I’m working on it. Just you wait. (The wait is over: you NEED to try these Pumpkin Spice Latte Cookies! They’re the perfect chewy pumpkin cookie! They’re loaded with spice, and a hint of coffee too.).

Today though, this is what I’m giving you: a cakey pumpkin cookie. A recipe for pumpkin mini-cakes labeled as cookies. No matter. These Pumpkin Cookies with Brown Butter Icing are still perfect and lovely. A cakey pumpkin cookie still has its time and place! These are ridiculously delicious. This recipe is old, old, old. It’s another one that was born out of my law school days when the only life I had outside of studying was experimenting in my kitchen. It’s tried-and-true deliciousness for the ages.

These Pumpkin Cookies with Brown Butter Icing are soft and tender little pillows of pumpkin goodness combined with the best fall spices. It doesn’t stop there. They are then slathered in an amazing brown butter icing. If there is something better than brown butter in this world, then I’m not aware of it. You can also find it on these Brown Sugar Maple Bacon Scones, and a slew of other things on the blog. I’m obsessed with brown butter, basically. I even have a brown butter buttercream recipe. It’s unreal.



These Pumpkin Cookies with Brown Butter Icing are a perfect and balanced combination of some of the best flavors of fall. Like a party for autumn in a cookie (Errr, a mini-cake?). Have a fall party in your mouth! Make this pumpkin cookie recipe. You will not be sorry. I made them last week. We ate them all in about 2 days. And now they must happen again.
