Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients: Cream together the unsalted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt to ensure even distribution.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep a soft, chewy texture.
- Chill the Dough (Optional but Recommended): Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors and reduce spreading for thicker cookies.
- Shape and Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and slightly flatten with fingers. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use real pure maple syrup for authentic flavor and moisture.
- Do not overbake; remove cookies when edges are set and centers look slightly soft to maintain chewiness.
- Chilling dough before baking helps control spreading and enhances flavor.
- Sift cinnamon and flour to avoid clumps and ensure an even spice distribution.
- Measure ingredients accurately for consistent results.
