Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (220g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  2. Beat in the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined. Cover and chill the dough at least 30 minutes.
  4. Scoop into tablespoon-sized balls, place 2 inches apart on parchment-lined sheets, and bake 10 to 12 minutes until edges are set and golden.
  5. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough is not included in prep time; plan for at least 30 extra minutes in the fridge. The cookies will seem underbaked when they come out of the oven, but they firm up nicely as they cool.
