Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until the dough comes together.
-
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Gently flatten each cookie using the back of a spoon or your fingers.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden.
-
Allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
You can add chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough for extra crunch.
A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can be added for a spiced variation.
For a more indulgent treat, drizzle extra maple syrup on the cooled cookies.
Chilling the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking helps reduce spreading.
