Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 115g Unsalted Butter (to be browned)
  • 80ml Pure Maple Syrup
  • 150g Granulated Sugar
  • 240g All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 large Egg

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Slowly melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat while stirring frequently. Continue cooking for about 5 to 7 minutes until the butter turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cooled brown butter, pure maple syrup, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  4. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps firm the dough and ensures the cookies develop crisp edges when baked.
  5. Shape and Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft. Let cookies cool before serving.

Notes

  • Brown butter carefully: Monitor closely to prevent burning; the flavor changes quickly from nutty to bitter.
  • Use real maple syrup: For authentic flavor, use pure maple syrup instead of artificial maple flavor.
  • Don’t skip chilling: Chilling the dough is key to achieving the desirable crispy edge and chewy center texture.
  • Measure flour properly: Spoon and level the flour when measuring to avoid overly dense dough.
  • Test bake: Bake a small batch first to adjust timing based on your oven’s characteristics.
