Ingredients

• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams light brown sugar
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 50 grams all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Stir in the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and light corn syrup until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, salt, and milk until fully combined into a smooth batter.

Step 5

Let the batter cool slightly to thicken for about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, drop small portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced at least 3 inches apart as the cookies will spread significantly while baking.

Step 7

Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the trays for 2-3 minutes. They will be soft out of the oven but will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, shape them into rounds or molds while they're warm for decorative designs.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
