Salted Pumpkin Spice Cookies
makes 24 cookies

What you need:
1 cup salted butter
3 tablespoons Savannah Bee Company® Pumpkin Spice Honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup pure pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground clove
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

For Rolling:
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Finishing salt to finish

What to do:

1. Wash Up!

2. Brown Butter: In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Stirring constantly, cook the butter until it reaches a deep amber color and remove from the heat. This will take about 5 minutes. Allow the butter to cool for 30 minutes.

3. Preheat the oven to 350 °F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

4. Prepare Batter: In a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer, mix together the honey, salt and brown sugar. Add in the cooled butter (be sure to scrape in all of the brown bits of butter, this is the tasty part) and mix just until combined. Add in the egg yolk, vanilla, pumpkin, baking soda, and spices. Mix just until smooth. Add in the flour and mix until combined. Set aside.

5. Prepare Dusting Sugar: In a small bowl stir together the granulated sugar and cinnamon.

6. Scoop Cookies: Use a small 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Roll the dough into a ball and drop it into the cinnamon sugar mixture and coat. Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet with two inches of space.

7. Bake Cookies: Bake for 9 - 11 minutes until the edges are golden and crisp. As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, bang the pan onto the stove top a few times to reduce puffiness and sprinkle with finishing salt. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

To Store: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week or in the freezer for 6 months , but we prefer you eat and share immediately!
