    I would love, if you are willing to share, the recipe for the brown butter cream cheese; that sounds delicious and these look amazing!

    Blondies: I made this recipe by combining a couple different recipes – I have a professional history as a pastry chef but fair warning this is my own experimental recipe lol. Turned out well if I do say so myself 😂

    3/4 cup unsalted butter 

    50g white chocolate (to melt with butter)

    1 cup dark brown sugar 

    2 egg yolks 

    2 tsp vanilla 

    3/4 cup pure pumpkin purée (blot some of the excess moisture with a paper towel) 

    ~1 tbsp of pumpkin spice (I didn’t have any so I just did a mix of cinnamon, ginger, clove and nutmeg)

    1 1/2 cups AP flour 

    1/2 tsp baking soda 

    1 tsp kosher salt 

    150g white chocolate chips 

    Brown 3/4 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Careful not to burn it, take off the heat once you start to see some browned bits at the bottom, and it will continue to brown with the heat of the pot for a few mins. Once browned let cool for 5-10 mins then whisk in 50g white chocolate. 

    Whisk brown sugar and egg yolks until pale, then add vanilla and pumpkin purée 

    Mix melted butter/chocolate with brown sugar mixture until combined. 

    Sift in all dry ingredients and then fold together. When the flour is 90% combined add white choco chips. 

    Bake in a metal 8×8 pan lined with parchment at 350° for approx 28-32 mins. Until toothpick comes out with crumbs clinging but no wet batter. 

    Cream cheese frosting: 

    150g butter browned (cooled until solid but malleable) 

    250g cream cheese (room temp) 

    1 tsp vanilla 

    Pinch of salt 

    Splash of lemon juice 

    125g icing sugar 

    50g brown sugar 

    Mix brown butter with vanilla, lemon, and salt until fluffy then add in chunks of cream cheese and mix until combined but careful not to mix tooooo much. Add icing sugar then brown sugar.

  3. Those pumpkin cookies look like pumpkin snickerdoodles! 😋 I need to make them this fall.

    So are the really amazing or just ok? But I’m not sure if I really want to destroy the kitchen for a matter of a whole day a fire and some towels later just to make something soooo freaking cute

    Those pumpkins are so well done. I can barely make a decent looking carrot 🥕 on my carrot cake bars, I could never manage 🎃, but yours are gorgeous!🥹
