Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (for browning)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup (for icing)
  • Milk or cream as needed for icing consistency

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, cream softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in maple syrup, egg, and vanilla until well combined.
  4. Slowly incorporate dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. Chill dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
  5. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
  6. For the icing, brown the additional butter in a saucepan over medium heat; whisk in powdered sugar and maple syrup until smooth. Adjust consistency with milk if necessary.
  7. Once cookies are cool, dip tops into icing and let set.
