Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 2. Add the butter to a small saucepan set over medium heat. Cook until the butter begins to brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a heatproof bowl.
- 2. Add the brown sugar, pumpkin butter, the egg, and vanilla, beating until creamy. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Fold in the chocolate chips and pecans (if using).
- 4. Roll the dough into tablespoon-size balls and place 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the maple syrup over each cookie, gently rolling it in the syrup to coat. Use a very light coat of syrup, not too much.
- 5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to set but still doughy in the center. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet. They will continue to cook slightly as they sit on the baking sheet. If your cookies are spreading, freeze the dough balls for 20-30 minutes before baking, then bake as directed.
- 6. Meanwhile, make the glaze (optional). Melt together the butter and maple syrup in a small pot over medium heat. Remove from the heat and whisk in the powdered sugar and a pinch of salt. Drizzle over each cookie. Enjoy!
