Instructions
Gather and measure all ingredients.
In a bowl, mix cooled browned butter with sugars, egg yolk, pumpkin puree, and vanilla until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, spice blend, baking soda, and salt; then combine with wet ingredients along with oats until evenly mixed.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Drop tablespoons of dough onto sheets and bake for about 10 minutes until edges are golden.
Allow cookies to cool before preparing the buttercream by mixing browned butter and cream cheese until smooth; slowly add powdered sugar and flavorings.
Spread buttercream on one cookie and top with another to create sandwiches.
