Ingredients
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 cup brown sugar
12 tablespoons softened butter
4 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup chopped dark chocolate
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375° (commercial convection oven at 325°)
- Combine the brown sugar and rosemary in the bowl of a stand mixer and rub together with your fingers.
- Add the butter, maple syrup, vanilla and mix until incorporated.
- Add the egg and mix again.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, soda, salt and cayenne in a bowl.
- With the mixer running, slowly add the flour mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
- Turn the mixer off and fold in the chopped chocolate with a spatula until combined.
- Use small ice cream scoop to form 1” balls of dough. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
