Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease baking sheets with cooking spray and set aside.
Cut the butter into pieces and add to a light colored 10-inch skillet. Heat over medium heat, stirring so the butter melts and cooks evenly.
As the butter cooks, constantly and slowly stir with a silicone spatula. As it melts, it will foam and sizzle as water evaporates. Keep stirring and stay close—this stage is quick (anywhere from 5 to 8 minute). When the butter solids are browned and golden and it smells caramelly and fragrant, immediately remove from the heat. Pour the butter into a large bowl.
Add in the brown sugar, sugar, pumpkin puree, egg yolk, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and ground ginger in with the butter. Whisk to combine.
Add the flour, rolled oats, quick oats, and chocolate chips. Stir until evenly combined and no dry streaks remain.
Scoop the dough with a cookie scoop and place several inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
Lightly press the cookie dough balls until they are slightly flattened. You want a thick disc-shape.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 11 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies rest a few minutes on the baking sheets before removing them to a cooling rack.
