Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the gluten-free oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
While the cookies are baking, prepare the maple glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the cookies are done baking, let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Drizzle the cookies with the maple glaze while they are still slightly warm, allowing the glaze to set before serving.
