Soft, chewy maple cookies topped with a sweet maple icing. Perfect for fall, the holidays, or any time you want a cozy, comforting treat.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the icing:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1–2 tsp milk (if needed for consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden around the edges. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and maple syrup, adding milk if needed for consistency.
- Spread or drizzle the icing over cooled cookies and allow it to set before serving.
Notes
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
- Use maple sugar in place of some regular sugar for stronger maple flavor.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too soft.
- Freeze cookies without icing for up to 2 months; glaze after thawing.
- Warm cookies in the microwave for 10–15 seconds before serving for a fresh-baked feel.
