Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid over-mixing the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of 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 lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
