Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until fully combined. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter and packed brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cookie texture.
  4. Add Maple Syrup and Vanilla: Blend in the maple syrup and vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugar mixture to infuse the cookies with their signature warm, sweet flavor.
  5. Incorporate Egg: Beat in the large egg until it is fully incorporated, ensuring even moisture and binding throughout the dough.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently just until combined to avoid overworking the dough, which could make the cookies tough.
  7. Form Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each about two inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown while the centers remain soft for a perfect chewy texture.
  9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use real maple syrup for the best flavor; imitation syrups will alter the taste significantly.
  • For a softer cookie, slightly underbake; for a crisper edge, bake an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar for a more complex flavor profile.
  • Adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans gives extra texture and nuttiness if desired.
