Instructions
- Brown the butter in a saucepan until golden and nutty.
- Combine brown and granulated sugars, then mix in the cooled butter.
- Add eggs and vanilla; beat until combined.
- Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in another bowl, then mix into the wet ingredients along with maple syrup.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), line a baking pan, spread batter, and bake for 25 minutes.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack, cool completely, and cut into squares.
