Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment Paper
  • Wire Rack

Ingredients

For the Cookies

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Maple Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk (for consistency)
  • to taste cinnamon (for garnish) Optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for easy cleanup.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and packed brown sugar together until creamy and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined and smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid over-mixing for the softest cookies!
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underdone. (They’ll finish baking as they cool on the tray.)
  • Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of milk. If it’s too thick, add the second tablespoon of milk a little at a time until you reach a drizzling consistency.
  • Once cookies are fully cooled, drizzle with glaze and finish with a pinch of cinnamon if desired. Let the glaze set for a few minutes, then enjoy!

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze cooled cookies (unglazed) for up to 3 months.
