Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 112 cups brown sugar, packed
  • 13 cup maple syrup

Dry Ingredients:

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 12 teaspoon baking soda
  • 14 teaspoon salt

Flavor Enhancers:

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
  2. Melt butter in a large heatproof bowl, then incorporate brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth and well-blended.
  3. Add egg to the butter mixture, stirring until completely integrated and creating a uniform wet base.
  4. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to prevent overmixing and maintain cookie tenderness.
  5. Cover the dough and refrigerate for half an hour to allow ingredients to settle and enhance flavor development.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for even heat distribution.
  7. Shape chilled dough into rounded balls, positioning them approximately two inches apart on prepared baking sheets to allow proper spreading during baking.
  8. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes, watching for lightly bronzed edges as an indicator of perfect doneness.
  9. Allow cookies to rest on baking sheet for five minutes to stabilize their structure before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
  10. Create a glossy glaze by whisking powdered sugar, maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, and milk until achieving a smooth, pourable consistency.
  11. Drizzle glaze over completely cooled cookies, permitting the topping to set before serving to ensure an elegant finish.

Notes

  • Swap butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free option that maintains the rich, buttery texture of the cookies.
  • Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the dough for extra crunch and a delightful nutty flavor profile.
  • Reduce maple syrup and replace with honey if you prefer a different sweet undertone in the cookie.
  • Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing and more consistent cookie texture.
