1. Cookie Dough Ingredients
Butter: 1 cup (unsalted).
Brown Sugar: 1 cup (packed).
Granulated Sugar: ½ cup.
Egg: 1 large (room temperature).
Maple Syrup: 2 tbsp (use real maple syrup for the best flavor).
Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp.
All-Purpose Flour: 2 ½ cups.
Cornstarch: 1 tbsp (this is the secret to the soft, tender bite).
Baking Soda: 1 tsp.
Salt: ½ tsp.
2. Maple Glaze Ingredients
Melted Butter: 2 tbsp.
Maple Syrup: 3 tbsp.
Powdered Sugar: 1 ½ cups.
Milk: 1–2 tbsp (add slowly to reach the desired thickness).
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Brown the Butter
Place the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Melt it until it begins to foam and turn a golden brown color with a nutty aroma.
Remove from heat immediately and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
Step 2: Make the Dough
In a large bowl, whisk the browned butter with the brown and white sugars.
Add the egg, maple syrup, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk the dry ingredients: flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a dough forms.
Scoop the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes. They should look slightly soft in the center; do not overbake! Let them cool completely.
Step 3: Glaze the Cookies
Whisk the powdered sugar, melted butter, and maple syrup together.
Add milk one tablespoon at a time until the glaze is thick but pourable.
Dip the tops of the cooled cookies into the glaze (or spoon it over them) and let them set until the icing is firm.
Quick Comparison:
While your Brownie Mix Cookies recipe relies on oil and eggs for a fudgy texture, these use Browned Butter and Cornstarch to achieve that specific "bakery-style" soft crumb seen in the photo.
