Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the maple icing:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream (to adjust consistency)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Scoop dough onto baking sheet, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
  8. Cool on baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For icing: Whisk powdered sugar and maple syrup, adding milk/cream until smooth and spreadable.
  10. Drizzle or spoon icing over cooled cookies and let set before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra texture.
  • Stir in cinnamon or nutmeg for a spiced variation.
  • Let icing set before storing to prevent smudging.
  • Freeze baked cookies with or without icing for up to 2 months.
  • Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor in both cookies and icing.
