2. In a small bowl, whisk together dry ingredients
3. In a medium bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar for 1 minute (use high speed on a hand mixer, medium on a stand mixer0. Add "egg" and mix until thoroughly combined. Add half of the dry ingredients, blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add vanilla and maple syrup; mix until thoroughly combined. Add remaining dry ingredients and mix for 1 minute.
4. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
5. Remove pan from oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into 9 or 12 squares.
Grade B maple is "cooking syrup" and recommended. I think I used "eating syrup" - it appeared to work just fine :0

She made these for last Saturday's potluck...they were amazing! Gooey, sweet, delicious...I usually don't get overly excited about desserts because even though I have a crazy sweet tooth, I'm kinda picky about sweets. Not a huge fan of chocolate, certain fruits are okay but they can make the dish "eh", etc etc. I loved everything about these- it was super exciting. NOM!
