Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1.5 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and grease 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Start by browning your butter. In a saute pan, heat to medium. Add butter to pan and let melt down and crackle. Whisk continuously and often during the browning period. Browning takes about 5-7 minutes. Once it is amber brown like maple syrup, turn off heat. Pour brown butter into a small bowl and let cool for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
- Add slightly cooled brown butter to a larger bowl. It’s okay if it is still warm, just not piping hot. Whisk in brown sugar until smooth, then whisk in egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla.
- Using a spatula or wooden spoon, slowly add flour mixture to wet ingredients until all combined and dough has formed.
- Stir in 1.5 cups of white chocolate chips.
- Pour into bottom of greased baking dish and press into sides using your hand or spatula. Add remaining chocolate chips on top and press into dough.
- Bake for 32-34 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool for at least one hour before cutting into but preferably until totally cooled.
