Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (light or dark)
- 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
- 1 Large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
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. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough into 1.5-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of granulated sugar on top of each dough ball for added texture and sweetness.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underdone. They will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pans for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea and enjoy!
