Bruna Kakor (Brown Cookies)

Patricia @ ButterYum

Okay, I know these cookies are never going to win the "best looking" award, but there's no question they would definitely win the delicious-crispy-chewy-caramelized-yumminess category.  The recipe is adapted from one sent by a good friend - her local spice vendor serves them every year at their annual Christmas party.  I'm not surprised, they rock!

Ingredients:  Lyle's Golden Syrup, flour, baking soda, vanilla sugar (or granulated sugar), and butter.   A note on the golden syrup - it's rich, caramelized flavor is simply amazing.  It's available in bottles, jars, and cans.  The bottles are easiest to dispense, but it really doesn't matter which one you find - just buy it!  You'll thank me later.

I like to make my own vanilla sugar. After I use a vanilla bean, I rinse it and let it dry, then I tuck it inside a jar with granulated sugar.  I keep adding used vanilla bean pods and more sugar so I always have a good supply on hand.  

Have you had the pleasure of discovering Lyle's golden syrup yet?  It's the magic ingredient in this recipe.

Time to make the cookies - cream the butter, sugar, and golden syrup together.

Whisk together the dry ingredients and add them to the butter/sugar mixture.

Mix again, until the golden syrup and flour mixture are evenly combined with the butter and sugar. A BeaterBlade attachment eliminates the fussy need to stop the mixer and scrape down the bowl.   

Divide the cookie dough into 4 equal portions.  You can eye-ball it, but I like to use a digital scale to ensure all my portions are exactly the same size.  

Roll each portion on cookie dough into a 12-inch long log and place two on a silpat lined half sheet pan. 

Bake the logs in a preheated 350F oven for 12-15 minutes until the logs flatten and spread like this.  Cool on sheet pan before cutting with a serrated knife.

Aaahhhh... I wish you could taste one of these cookies right now!!!!! 

Make them, make them, make them!!
