Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Maple Syrup
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Start by melting the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until it foams and the milk solids turn a golden brown. This step infuses a rich, nutty flavor into your cookies.
  2. Mix the Sugars: In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Pour in the browned butter and mix until well combined. The sugars should dissolve slightly, creating a smooth mixture.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. This will enhance the sweetness and create a lovely aroma.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  5. Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps the flavors meld and prevents spreading during baking.
  6. Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Don’t Skip Browning the Butter: This step is crucial for achieving that delicious nutty flavor.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh baking powder and vanilla extract make a noticeable difference in flavor.
  • Chill the Dough: Always chill your dough for the best texture and to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Watch the Baking Time: Remove the cookies from the oven when they are still soft in the center; they will continue to set as they cool.
  • Experiment with Flavorings: Don’t hesitate to add different spices or extracts to personalize your cookies!
