Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (to make brown butter)
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir frequently until it turns a golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and brown butter. Mix until well combined.
- Add in the maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for better handling.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop out dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until well coated.
- Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
