Description
A straightforward recipe for soft, chewy cookies flavored with real maple syrup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly set. The centers may look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup, for the best flavor.
- For a stronger maple taste, you can reduce the vanilla extract slightly.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
