In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter with the light brown sugar. Beat together until the mixture is well combined and creamy. Next, add the flour, your pre-made spice mix, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Stir together until you achieve a crumbly texture that holds together in clumps.
To ensure the best flavor and texture for your cookies, you’ll want to concentrate the pumpkin puree. Spread the canned pumpkin onto a plate, and using paper towels, blot it to remove excess moisture.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two baking sheets lined with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, the remaining spice mix, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. In a large mixing bowl, add the browned butter and light brown sugar, beating them together until the mixture turns light and fluffy.
Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the dough and roll it into balls. Place six cookies on each prepared baking sheet and gently flatten the tops with your hand. Press a heaping tablespoon of the streusel onto the top of each cookie dough ball. Bake in the preheated oven for about 11 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look soft.
Notes
These cookies can be frozen for up to three months and thawed at room temperature before enjoying.
