Make soft and chewy cookies featuring the warm flavor combination of maple syrup and brown sugar, with an optional brown butter base.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (or browned and cooled slightly)
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • For Optional Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, 1-2 teaspoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies if desired.

Notes

  • If you choose to brown the butter, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it foams and brown bits form at the bottom. Cool the browned butter slightly before creaming it with the sugars.
  • For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
