Instructions

Prepare brown butter by melting it in a saucepan until browned; let cool.
Blot canned pumpkin to remove excess moisture.
In one bowl, mix dry ingredients; in another, combine wet ingredients including cooled brown butter.
Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined and chill the dough for at least 8 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
Shape cookie dough into balls, roll in spiced sugar coating, and place on sheets.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until slightly puffed and soft in the center; cool before serving.
