Caramel cookies are a delightful treat that combines the richness of butter and brown sugar with the subtle sweetness of maple syrup. These cookies are perfect for any occasion, whether you're enjoying them with a cup of coffee or sharing them with friends and family. Follow this simple recipe to create delicious caramel cookies that everyone will love.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter and brown sugar. Use an electric mixer or a wooden spoon to cream them together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Pour in the maple syrup and continue to mix until it is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Gradually add the self-raising flour to the wet mixture. Mix until the flour is fully incorporated and you have a smooth dough. If the dough seems too sticky, you can add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you achieve the desired consistency.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Using the back of a spoon or your fingers, gently flatten each dough ball to your desired thickness. These cookies will spread slightly during baking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. The centers may still appear slightly soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once completely cooled, serve your delicious caramel cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea. Enjoy!
