Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large
  • 1 electric mixer

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Cover the dough and chill for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor and texture. This step is crucial for preventing excessive spreading during baking.

Serving

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Scoop the dough into balls and place them onto a lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Storage

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container.

Notes

Pro Tips: Chill the dough to enhance flavor and prevent spreading.
Ingredient Substitutions: Use dark brown sugar for a richer flavor.
How to Serve: Pair with coffee or milk for a delightful snack.
Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
