Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender texture in the cookies.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined, ensuring even flavor throughout the dough.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure they are evenly distributed.
  5. Mix Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until the dough comes together without overmixing to keep cookies tender.
  6. Portion Dough: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  7. Flatten Cookies: Gently flatten each dough portion using the back of a spoon or your fingers to form rounds, which helps them bake evenly.
  8. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown, indicating they are done.
  9. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which prevents breakage.

Notes

  • Use real maple syrup for the best flavor; imitation syrups may alter the taste.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep the cookies soft and tender.
  • For a crispier cookie, bake slightly longer but watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Optional: Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
