Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- Optional topping: melted white chocolate or white chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Mix in the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Chill the dough for 45 minutes to enhance flavor and texture.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop dough into balls and place them evenly spaced on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set and centers are chewy.
- Cool completely, then drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps develop flavor and prevents spreading for chewier cookies.
- For a stronger maple flavor, substitute part of the brown sugar with dark brown sugar.
- If not using white chocolate topping, dust with a pinch of cinnamon.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze dough for longer.
