Confession: I did NOT make these cookies.

My husband did. And they are OMG slap-yo-mama good.

Chris likes to bake on Sunday afternoons with our daughter. Which I should think is cute, but really all I can think about are the dishes piling up and the flour going everywhere. Sundays are not my baking days– plus we usually eat dinner at my mom’s, so I always have this grand delusion that the kitchen can stay clean on just that one day.

Hilarious. I know.

So here’s the story of how these came to be and why I’m telling you to make them…

A gal from my church brought these unreal Nutella stuffed cookies to our holiday cookie exchange last month. Several of us begged for the recipe, and she sent us here. I skimmed the recipe for a second, saw the words brown butter + chill + 2 hours. And I was like NOPE! I’m out ✌????.

And then last Sunday rolls around, and my husband asks, “what kind of cookies should we make?” Disclaimer: I’ve been on a Nutella binge for about a month. And so I say, “You should make those Nutella stuffed cookies from the Christmas party!

And I’m thinking– yeah right, in my dreams!

But my husband is so different from me, y’all. He’s not in a rush and he doesn’t mind putting in the time. So he decides to go for it! He browned the butter and let it cool. He chilled the dough for TWO WHOLE HOURS. He remembered to chill the Nutella so it would hold up better during baking and make a perfect little Nutella pocket inside each cookie.

That’s the kind of man I married you guys. ????

So yes… these cookies do require a little more TLC than the typical Something Swanky recipe. And this recipe doesn’t make a very big batch of cookies, since each individual cookie is JUMBO. Also, you will probably gain 10 lbs in a matter of hours.

BUT I’m not joking when I say that these cookies are so. worth. it. Period.

Mic drop.

Creamy, sweet, unbelievable maple butter with a heavy touch of cinnamon. Similar to the honey butter served at Texas Roadhouse, but the maple gives it a perfect Fall time flavor!

Remember that time I freaked out about Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon Honey Butter and insisted that you leave your computer screen rightnow to go try it? And then I gave you the recipe to make it at home. Because we all need 24/7 access to that butter, right?

Wellp. I made more.

But in a slightly different way. This is Maple Cinnamon Butter recipe. And it is ah-mazing.

Remember these Pumpkin Cornmeal Pancakes? They were like ground-shaking, earth-shattering, life-changing good.

So I decided that I needed to make Pumpkin Cornbread this year. And I did (watch for that recipe to post soon)! Maple syrup was such a perfect compliment to those pancakes that I absolutely just knew that this cornbread would need to have some maple butter to go along with it.

I just had this gut feeling that it would be utterly spectacular. I just love it when I’m right. ????

That being said, this butter totally stands on its own. Frankly, I could eat it with a spoon. But if you’re not a straight up butter eater (what’s wrong with you??), here are a few other serving suggestions:

You could eat this maple cinnamon butter on toast.

On pancakes.

On muffins.

On soft, buttery biscuits (omg, YES).

Slather it on banana bread, pumpkin bread, and pretty much all breads ever.

But most of all… watch for that pumpkin cornbread recipe coming soon!!! Because pumpkin corn bread + maple butter = ????.
