I decided to make chocolate chip cookies with melted butter because I was in a hurry.  They are a little flatter than I prefer my cookies to be, but I think they are just fine.

Sometimes I like to change up the sweeteners (sugars).  This time, I used less sugar and added some maple syrup.  You could use honey or corn syrup instead.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  I recommend freezing the individual doughs for 30 to 45 minutes or chill them in the fridge for a few hours to keep them from spreading too much. And, preheat your oven before baking.

• Ingredients
• 1 cup butter, melted and cooled 10 minutes
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 1 tbs cornstarch
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 cups chocolate chips

Directions – in a bowl, combine butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add eggs, vanilla and maple syrup.  Fold in dry ingredients.   If dough seems a little dry, add a tbs or two of water.  Mix in chips. Scoop our 1/4 cups of dough.  Freeze 30 minutes or chill a few hours in fridge.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on it.  Bake 11 to 14 minutes (no longer).  Cool completely.    Pop cookies in the fridge if you think they seem too gushy.  Store in covered container.
