Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.67 cup Light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Light corn syrup
- 0.67 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Brandy
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and light corn syrup over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and, while still warm, whisk in the all-purpose flour and salt until well combined with no lumps.
Stir in the brandy and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Using a teaspoon, drop small amounts of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart as the cookies will spread significantly during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are bubbling slightly in the center.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 2-3 minutes. Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling and crisping up.
Repeat the process for the remaining batter, ensuring the baking sheets are cool before adding new batter drops.
Once the cookies are fully cooled and crisp, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
