Step-by-Step Instructions
- Melt brown butter over medium heat until it turns brown and nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Mix with pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a separate bowl. Fold the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just combined and chill dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rounded tablespoons of dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 10-12 minutes until golden and slightly underbaked.
- Melt white chocolate and black candy melts separately in microwave-safe bowls in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- Once cooled, pipe melted white chocolate over cookies to create ghost shapes and add black candy melts for eyes.
- Let cookies sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to set the chocolate.
Notes
Chill the dough to enhance flavor and texture. Keep an eye on bake time to ensure softness in the center.
