Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well-combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
If using, sprinkle the tops of the cookies with a pinch of maple sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
