Chewy Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cookies

  • Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 2 dozen cookies 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick oats)

Instructions

  1. Line 2 large baking sheets with Silpat baking mats or parchment paper.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, shortening, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
  4. Add baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Mix until combined.
  5. Mix in oats and flour just until combined. Be careful not to overbeat.
  6. Scoop dough 2-inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Gently press down with palm on top of each ball of dough to flatten slightly. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  8. Bake 11-14 minutes or until lightly golden, rotating halfway through. Center of cookies will still appear shiny and slightly undercooked. Let cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

**To add even more maple flavor, substitute pure maple extract in place of the vanilla.
