Description

These Maple Brown Sugar Cookies are a delightful treat combining the rich sweetness of brown sugar with the warm, natural flavor of pure maple syrup. Soft and chewy, these cookies are perfect for an autumn snack or any time you want a cozy homemade dessert with a unique maple-infused twist.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup (60ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Maple Glaze

  • 1 cup (120g) confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture, then mix until fully combined and slightly fluffy.
  3. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon to ensure even distribution of the leavening and spices.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and tough cookies.
  5. Chill Dough: Cover the cookie dough and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up for easier handling.
  6. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  7. Shape Cookies: Roll the chilled dough into 1.5-inch diameter balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow for spreading.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies for 11 to 13 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown, indicating they are cooked through but still chewy inside.
  9. Cool Cookies: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Prepare Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, maple syrup, and milk until the glaze is smooth and pourable.
  11. Glaze Cookies: Drizzle the maple glaze over the cooled cookies and allow it to set before serving for a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • Refrigerating the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and deepen in flavor.
  • Use pure maple syrup for the best authentic flavor; imitation syrup won’t give the same rich taste.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For a stronger maple flavor, you can brush additional maple syrup on the cookies before glazing.
  • Make sure not to overbake to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
