Maple Brown Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Maple Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1-2 tablespoons milk (for consistency)
- Optional: a sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish
Directions
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and well combined.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
4. Shape the Cookies:
Roll the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball with the palm of your hand to create a flat surface.
5. Bake:
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just golden and the centers are set. Be careful not to overbake—these cookies are best when slightly soft and chewy. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Prepare the Maple Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and enough milk to reach a smooth, pourable consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and sprinkle with a touch of cinnamon if desired.
7. Serve:
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these cozy maple brown sugar cookies with a cup of coffee or tea!
The Secret of the Recipe
Use pure maple syrup for an authentic, rich maple flavor that perfectly complements the brown sugar.

🍋 Lemon Sandwich Cookies, Perfect for tea time 😋
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups (315 g) all-purpose flour — spooned and leveled so you don’t pack it.
- 1/2 tsp baking powder — just a little lift.
- 1/4 tsp salt — balances the sweetness.
- 3/4 cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened — room temperature is best, makes creaming easy.
- 1 cup (200 g) sugar — regular granulated.
- 1 large egg — room temp if you can.
- 1 tbsp lemon zest (about one lemon) — add more if you love a punchy lemon hit.
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice — fresh beats bottled here.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract — a little depth.

- For the lemon filling:
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened — again, soft but not melty.
- 2 cups (240 g) powdered sugar — sift if it’s lumpy, it saves time.
- 1–2 tbsp lemon juice — start with 1 and taste as you go.
- 1 tsp lemon zest — for extra zing.
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract — small, nice background note.

Instructions:
1. Okay, make the cookie dough first. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl so it’s ready to go. In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy — a few minutes with a mixer, or some arm exercise by hand.

2. Add the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla to the butter-sugar mix and beat until combined. It’ll smell great, promise.

3. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet. At first the dough might look crumbly; press it together with your hands until it holds into a smooth ball.

4. Chill the dough. Wrap it in plastic or put it in a container and chill 30–45 minutes — this makes rolling out so much less fussy.

5. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll the chilled dough out to about 5 mm thick (roughly 1/4 inch). Cut into rounds or whatever small shapes you like — I go classic rounds.

6. Arrange the cookies on a lined baking sheet and bake 8–10 minutes, until the edges are just barely turning golden. Don’t overbake; they should stay pretty pale. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.

🥜 Peanut Butter Cup Dump Cake 🍫
Ingredients
1 box (about 15–16 oz) chocolate cake mix
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup mini peanut butter cups
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Position the oven rack in the center to ensure even baking. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray, making sure to coat the bottom, sides, and corners well.

Spread the peanut butter evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish. Use a rubber spatula or the back of a large spoon to push the peanut butter into a smooth, even layer that reaches all four corners and the edges. If the peanut butter is stiff, microwave it for 15 seconds to soften it first.

Make the batter in a separate medium bowl: add the entire box of dry chocolate cake mix, the 1/2 cup of melted butter (cool slightly so it doesn't cook the eggs—but there are no eggs here, so room temperature is fine), and the 1 1/2 cups of whole milk. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon or whisk for about 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth, with no dry pockets or lumps visible. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to incorporate any hiding dry mix.

Pour the batter directly over the peanut butter layer. Start pouring in the center and work your way outward. Tilt the dish gently in a circular motion to help the batter flow into all corners. Do not stir or spread with a spatula; the batter will find its own level. The peanut butter layer will remain underneath.

Sprinkle the toppings evenly over the batter: first scatter all of the mini peanut butter cups, then distribute the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Try to cover the surface fairly evenly rather than clustering them in one spot. Do not press the toppings into the batter; they will sink slightly on their own during baking.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes on the center rack. Halfway through (around the 18- to 20-minute mark), rotate the baking dish front to back to promote even browning. The cake is done when the edges look firm and slightly darker in color, the top springs back lightly when touched with a fingertip, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs clinging are fine—wet batter means bake longer).

Cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This resting time allows the gooey center to set so slices hold their shape. For clean, neat squares, cool completely (about 45 minutes to 1 hour). Serve warm for a soft, pudding-like texture or at room temperature for firmer slices
