A recipe for soft, chewy cookies featuring the rich flavor of maple syrup and brown sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for rolling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
  4. 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. Do not overmix.
  5. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. If desired, roll each ball in powdered sugar for a crackled finish.
  6. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a stronger maple taste, use dark amber maple syrup.
  • If you prefer a crispier cookie, bake for 12 to 14 minutes.
  • You can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of maple extract for 1 tablespoon of the maple syrup if you want a less moist dough.
  • For a maple glaze, mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of milk. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
