Description
These cookies combine the rich flavor of brown sugar with the sweet, distinct taste of maple syrup, resulting in a wonderfully chewy texture. They are simple to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar, for rolling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the maple syrup, then the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- If desired, place the granulated sugar in a shallow dish. Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls and then roll each ball in the granulated sugar.
- Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden brown, but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra maple flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of maple extract to the dough.
- Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.
- Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
