Ingredients

Cookie Ingredients

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

Maple Icing Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon milk (or more for desired consistency)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, maple syrup, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, which helps incorporate air for a tender cookie.
  3. Add Egg: Add the large egg to the creamed mixture and mix until fully incorporated to bind the ingredients.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon to ensure even distribution of leavening and spices.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  6. Form Dough Balls: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  7. Flatten Dough: Slightly flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon to promote even baking.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden, indicating doneness.
  9. Cool Cookies: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack to set before icing.
  10. Prepare Maple Icing: While cookies cool, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, adjusting milk quantity to desired consistency.
  11. Ice Cookies: Drizzle or spread the maple icing over cooled cookies and let the icing set before serving for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming and better texture.
  • If you prefer thicker icing, use less milk; for thinner, add a bit more milk gradually.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For a stronger maple flavor, use pure maple syrup rather than flavored syrup.
  • These cookies can be frozen before baking; just thaw before baking as directed.
