Soft and chewy cookies? Yes, please! These thick, brown sugar cookies fit that description to a T. I think I’ve heard that saying all my life, and now that I typed it, I’m like what the heck is the T referring to? Yeah, I might do some research on this “T” business.

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup salted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. maple extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. cornstarch
- 1 tsp. baking soda
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add in butter and beat on low for 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the sugars and beat on medium until well combined. This will take about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides.
- Add in the egg, vanilla, and maple extract and beat on high until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides.
- Add in the flour, cornstarch, and baking soda. Mix on medium until just combined. The original recipe called for 1 cup of bread flour and 1 cup of all-purpose flour, but all I had was all-purpose flour. The cookies weren't as dense as the original cookies.
- Scoop the dough with a small cookie scoop. I got 15 dough balls out of this recipe. Place the cookie dough balls on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before baking them.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place 6 cookies at a time on the baking sheet and place them in the oven for 10 minutes or until they are done.
- Let cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet and then place on a cooling rack to finish cooling.
- Store in an airtight container.

Oh wow these sound so good! I have seen a lot of cookie recipes that use cornstarch in them lately I really must give it a go it’s meant to keep them soft and chewy sounds like it worked a treat here. Maybe the T stands for treat? You’ll have to let us know if you ever find the meaning 🙂
So simple but so delicious. I can already taste these!
These were absolutely delish! Thanks for the comment. 😀
