Maple Pecan Brown Butter Cookies

Maple Pecan Brown Butter Cookies

2 dozen cookies

What do you get when you put pecan, brown butter, and maple together? You get a delightful twist on a classic cookie. Browning the butter for these cookies is a must. It adds a rich nutty flavour that is hard to beat. Using both maple sugar and maple syrup another layer of deliciousness is added to this already amazing cookie.

2 ¼ cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cornstarch
½ tsp salt
1 cup browned butter
¾ cup brown sugar
¼ cup maple sugar
¼ cup maple syrup
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup icing sugar
1 tbsp maple syrup

- To brown the butter, put 1 ¼ cup unsalted butter in a saucepan. Melt and boil butter until it becomes brown and smells nutty. There should be brown bits on the bottom of the pan.

- Preheat oven to 325°.

- Sift the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt together in a bowl. Set aside.

- Whisk together the browned butter, brown sugar, maple sugar, and maple syrup. Add in egg and vanilla. Slowly incorporate flour into the butter mixture and stir in the chopped pecans.

- Scoop dough with a cookie scoop onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Set in fridge for 30 minutes- 1 hours. Bake for 9-12 minutes, and make sure to not overbake. The cookies will continue to cook on the pan. Cookies will last for 1 week in an airtight container.

-To make the frosting: whisk together the icing sugar and maple syrup until it reaches the desired consistency.  Add more maple syrup if you want it thinner.

Had no trouble with all the ingredients except how to brown butter safely.
Mine wanted to spatter out of the pot and I thought it would catch fire long before it browned ?
I turned it off immediately and used it as it was hot and melted.
Is there a safe way to do this ?

@D

Yes, these cookies can be mixed by hand and baked at 325.

Happy Baking.

Hi,
Just confirming :
The oven temperature for the Maple Pecan Brown Butter Cookies, 325°, correct?
These cookies do not need a mixer, they are whisked or stirred by hand?
Thanks,
D

Can you use brown instead of maple sugar

Kimberly Maheu - October 23, 2021

I had to bring them to work because I would eat only “half” a cookie…but everyone knows how that works!!!
Thank you!

I made these in a gluten-free version, no changes other than the Compliments GF flour blend instead of wheat flour. They were some of the best cookies I ever ate, and all those I shared with also really enjoyed them. Thanks so much for posting!

Just made these….yummy! I roasted the pecans first for more flavor. Also make sure you flatten the cookies before baking. I did not refrigerate before baking and they did not spread. Great tasting cookie!

If you do not have maple sugar, best use brown in place of. Happy Baking.

Can you recommend a substitution for the maple sugar. I have the syrup but not the sugar.

Will I or won’t I? Can I or can’t I? Should I or shouldn’t I? The answer to these questions is “I can, I will and I should.” Always looking for something to new and interesting to bake on either a “snow day” or a “slow day” of which there are an abundance of both right now. Ciao! MD
