Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cookies:
    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
    • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For the Maple Glaze:
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
    • 1–2 tablespoons milk (for consistency)
    • Optional: a sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar:
    In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth and well combined.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  • Shape the Cookies:
    Roll the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball with the palm of your hand to create a flat surface.
  • Bake:
    Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just golden and the centers are set. Be careful not to overbake—these cookies are best when slightly soft and chewy. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare the Maple Glaze:
    In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and enough milk to reach a smooth, pourable consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and sprinkle with a touch of cinnamon if desired.
  • Serve:
    Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these cozy maple brown sugar cookies with a cup of coffee or tea!

Notes

  • Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor and avoid maple-flavored syrups, which tend to be more artificial.
  • Don’t overbake the cookies. They should remain soft in the center.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
