Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (fine sea salt preferred)
  • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (220g) packed light brown sugar (or dark brown sugar for deeper flavor)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (Grade A)
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (for glaze)
  • 2–3 teaspoons milk (dairy or non-dairy, for glaze)
  • 1/8 teaspoon maple extract (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or by hand until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared sheets, spaced 2 inches apart. If dough is too sticky, chill for 10 minutes.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly underdone but puffed.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and maple extract (if using) until smooth and pourable. Adjust consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
  10. Once cookies are cool, drizzle or spread glaze over each cookie. Let set for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For gluten-free cookies, use a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, substitute vegan butter and non-dairy milk. Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts or 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for variations. Chill dough for thicker cookies. Let glaze set fully before stacking or storing.
