  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer add the brown butter and the regular butter. Add the brown sugar and granulated mix and beat for 2 minutes. Add in pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract beat for two minutes. After the two minutes let the batter rest for 30 seconds and repeat the process 2 more times.
  3. In a separate bowl mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and cornstarch.
  4. Slowly add flour mixture to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in chocolate chunks. Place dough covered in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour.
  5. Preheat oven to 350F/180C and line a baking sheet with a Silpat liner or parchment paper.
  6. Scoop 2 tablespoons balls of dough and bake for 9-11 minutes, the cookies should be just set and not look "wet" on the tops. Let cookies cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Store in an airtight container for 5 days.
