Can I make chocolate chip cookies with maple sugar?

[KurtNYC]

(since I love maple sugar).'

I am using the soft recipe and it seems like it should work. Has anyone tried it?

1. Haven't tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. n/t

2. Probably would be fine.

Poke around on the Foodnetwork, see what they say.

3. I'm seeing a lot on Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip cookies

I like anything unusual that works...

4. That just sounds wrong

Bacon=Good
Maple=Good
Chocolate Chip Cookies=Good

All three together=WTF

Kind of like Mango Andouille Pancakes

5. I would try it

That's how new recipe discoveries are made. Subtle adjustments here and there. I love chocolate chip pancakes with maple syrup, so I say go for it.

6. Actually I think you really need chocolate chips.

7. Of course. But just to be on the safe side, you should let them cool

on the bar in The Lounge overnight, in case they turn out to be unhealthy

The Lounge bar has important scientific properties: unhealthy cookies slowly evaporate if left there

8. send them to me and i will test them for you

ymmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

12. Hey!!! I was gonna post that....awwww......nt

9. Nope the food police will be there in awhile.....

have plenty of cold milk while they field test the cookies!

10. LOL! I thought this said maple syrup at first

I have no idea but I think you should try. Some of the most delicious recipes come about by people experimenting with different ingredients and even throwing them in randomly. My mum used to do this all the time and what she produced used to be mouth-watering

11. That made my jaw ache just reading it.

13. Sure you can.

You may need to adjust the recipe a bit to get the right balance of flavor and texture, but that just means you'll need to make several test batches and eat the results. :9

I haven't tried it but I've substituted maple syrup for white and brown sugars, honey, and molasses. It changes the flavor and sometimes requires adding a bit more flour when substituting for dry sweeteners.

14. instead of sugar? yes, but

you will need to experiment. Sugar sets up/caramelizes differently than maple sugar, which will make the cookies flatter and crispier most likely as it's a liquid. Try playing with adding more flour (or perhaps ground walnuts) or something to make the sugar solidify a bit. I've made maple syrup cookies before but they're a lot different - very little flour and they spread out into super thin lace cookies.

Worth a shot though. Baking is less of an exact science than most people realize, although there is a bit of 'chemistry' involved with how ingredients react to each other (and to heat).

EDIT:
just saw you said maple sugar not syrup. This should work fine. Sorry.
