Description
A delightful treat featuring soft, chewy cookies with a rich flavor from brown butter and maple syrup, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown and nutty.
- In a large bowl, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, and maple syrup. Add browned butter and mix well, then beat in the eggs.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Scoop the chilled dough into 1 ½ tablespoon portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball. Roll the dough balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
Notes
- Don’t skip browning the butter; it adds essential flavor.
- Make sure to chill the dough to prevent spreading.
- Use a cookie scoop for even sizes.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- For freezing, wrap each cookie in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag for up to three months.
