This cookie is the reason for the season. We took a brown butter and real maple cookie dough with maple glazed pecans —so good it should be illegal—and stuffed it with a rich, gooey, from-scratch dulce de leche core. We finished it with a sprinkle of turbinado salt because we believe in balancing our sweet, responsible choices with a little bit of edge. It’s the cookie equivalent of a crisp fall day—best enjoyed with a hot coffee and a strong desire to ignore your other responsibilities. Consider this your edible PTO day.
