You will make soft, chewy cookies full of warm maple and brown sugar flavor. These homemade treats are perfect for cozy fall days or holiday baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • For the Glaze: 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the 1/2 cup of maple syrup and vanilla extract until combined. Add the egg and mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, if using.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers should still look slightly soft for a chewy texture.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, and milk or cream until smooth. Add milk slowly to reach your desired drizzling consistency.
  10. Once cookies are completely cool, drizzle the maple glaze over the tops. Let the glaze set before serving.

Notes

  • Use real, pure maple syrup for the best flavor in both the cookie and the glaze.
  • For extra texture, add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans to the dough before chilling.
  • If you prefer a thicker cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping and baking.
