Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 whole Large egg
- 0.75 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended.
Add the large egg to the wet mixture and whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your lighter maple chocolate chip cookies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
