Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1½ cups brown sugar, packed
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
Maple Vanilla Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
- 3 tablespoons milk (whole milk recommended)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large heatproof bowl, melt the butter. Stir in brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined, then add the egg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats.
- Scoop dough into balls and place on baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly browned. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies. Let glaze set before serving.
Notes
- Vanilla Bean Paste: Adds rich vanilla flavor with beautiful flecks. Vanilla extract works as a substitute.
- Silicone Mats: These reduce browning and help with even baking.
- Cookie Scoop: A 3-tablespoon scoop keeps cookies uniform in size.
- Portioning Dough: For easier handling, portion the dough into balls right after chilling.
