Ina Garten Pumpkin Cookies Recipe

If you're looking for an easy and enjoyable cookie that's a little different, Ina Garten's pumpkin cookies will definitely be on your list!
One thing I've found helpful when making these is to let the browned butter cool for a few minutes before mixing—it enhances the flavor beautifully.
You can adjust the pumpkin spice to your taste, enhancing or dialing down the earthy, warm notes based on your preference.
Be sure to give the dough time to meld and rest before baking, as it results in softer, chewier cookies!
