Maple Brown Sugar Cookies

• servings: 24 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)

1 ½ cup brown sugar (tightly packed)

⅓ cup maple syrup (pure or faux -- I honestly prefer Aunt Jemima!)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon maple extract

1 large egg (room temperature & lightly beaten.)

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¾ teaspoon salt

Granulated sugar for rolling or sprinkling

Directions

Melt butter in large, microwave-safe bowl and allow to cool completely.

Stir in brown sugar and maple syrup until completely combined.

Stir in vanilla extract and maple extract.

Add egg and stir until well-combined.

In separate, medium-sized bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Gradually (about ¼ of the mixture at a time), add the flour mix to the butter mixture and stir until completely combined.

Chill in refrigerator for at least one hour (may chill longer, up to 5 days).

Once dough is about 30 minutes from being ready, preheat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Once dough has chilled, scoop into 2-Tablespoon (45g) sized scoops. Roll in or sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar and bake for 10-12 minutes.

Allow cookies to cool completely on cookie sheet. Do not put dough for following batches on hot cookie sheets, cookie sheets should always be room temperature or colder.
