I created this small batch cookie recipe with my friends at CAFÉ using their Couture™ Oven! I have had this countertop oven for a while now and I’m obsessed with it! It has 14 different settings including a cookie setting!
I love baking cookies in this oven because it heats up much faster than my regular oven, so it means I’m enjoying cookies even sooner. Plus, it saves energy if I’m just baking a quick batch of cookies, like these small batch Maple Brown Sugar Cookies.
I have the CAFÉ Couture™ Oven in matte white, that matched my regular oven and the rest of my appliances. This countertop oven is so dreamy and beautiful, and I can make everything from cookies, to French fries, to pizza in it!

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the air fryer or oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, add the butter, dark brown sugar, and maple syrup. Mix together with a spatula to combine completely.
Add in the milk, flour, baking soda, and salt and fold together until a cookie dough forms. Then fold in the chocolate chips. (The chocolate chips are optional and you can leave out if you want a plain sugar cookie!)
Step 3
Using your hands, form the dough into 6 large balls and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. If you’re using your air fryer, then do 3 cookies at a time. If you’re using the oven, then 6 will fit on one baking sheet.
Step 4
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until the middle looks set and the edges are golden brown.
Step 5
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt immediately after coming out of the oven (optional).
