Maple Cinnamon Cookies

Instructions

To make the cookies:

1. Add 4 tablespoons butter to a small skillet or saucepan and turn heat to medium low. Cook just until butter begins to brown, about 4 minutes. Remove butter from the heat and set aside to cool.
2. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the cooled browned butter, and the Splenda Brown Sugar Blend until combined. Beat in the maple syrup, applesauce, egg, and vanilla. Keep beating until completely combined and fluffy.  In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.  Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating until completely combined.  Stir in pecans if using.
4. Scoop the dough using a cookie scoop about 1 ½ tablespoons in size.  Gently take baking sheet and smack it down on the counter to help cookies spread out a bit.
5. Bake cookies for about  8 -10 minutes. Remove and let cool.

To make maple cinnamon drizzle:

1. stir all ingredients together in a small bowl. Drizzle over each cookie.
2. Enjoy immediately or store in a container and enjoy within 3 days!
