It's because I'm SMOKED! We use this great product to caramelize onions for our burgers. It gives a great smokey flavour without the hassle of trying to smoke a product seperately. Roast , Bake or grill with this unique ingredient to add smokey sweetness. Great for use as a BBQ rub to give a sticky, sweet and smokey finish to Ribs.

Smoked Brown Sugar Cookies — rich, smoky, and chewy

Ingredients (makes ~24 cookies)
- 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups smoked brown sugar, packed (light or dark depending on desired intensity)
- 1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (150 g) chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (optional)
- 1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Whisk flour, baking soda, and sea salt in a bowl; set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream butter and smoked brown sugar until light and fluffy (3–4 minutes). The smoked sugar gives a savory caramel aroma.
4. Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate and nuts if using.
6. Scoop rounded tablespoons (or use a 1.5-tablespoon scoop) of dough onto prepared sheets, spacing ~2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with your palm for a chewy center.
7. Bake 9–12 minutes until edges are set and tops are lightly golden. Centers will look soft — they firm as they cool.
8. Immediately sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on warm cookies if desired. Cool on the sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.

Tips & Variations
- For deeper smoke, mix 3/4 smoked brown + 1/2 plain brown.
- Add 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon for warm spice.
- For crispier cookies, bake 1–2 minutes longer and flatten dough balls more.
- Dough can be chilled up to 48 hours (firmer flavor) or frozen for 3 months.

Storage
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temp up to 4 days, or freeze up to 3 months.
