Description
Brown Butter Maple Cookies are a chewy, nutty delight infused with sweet maple syrup, perfect for cozy gatherings or a sweet afternoon snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until bubbling and golden brown. Stir frequently until it emits a nutty aroma. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled browned butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth, then drizzle in the maple syrup.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to your wet ingredients until just combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to develop flavor and prevent spreading.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden around the edges but still soft in the center.

Keywords: Let the browned butter cool slightly before adding eggs to prevent cooking them. Don’t overmix; stop when just combined for optimal chewiness. Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture.
