Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Maple Icing:
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon milk (adjust for consistency)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution and prevents lumps later. Set this mixture aside.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This step is essential—it incorporates air into the dough, giving your cookies a soft texture.
Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
Mix in the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat until everything is smooth and well combined. The dough will already start to smell rich and sweet.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing—just combine until no streaks of flour remain.
