Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- For the Maple Glaze (Optional):
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
Instructions
- Prep Your Workspace: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set this bowl aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar and light brown sugar on medium speed until light, fluffy, and pale, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the large egg, extra egg yolk, pure vanilla extract, and pure maple syrup to the creamed butter mixture. Beat on medium speed until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- Scoop and Bake: Once chilled, use a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop or roll the dough into balls about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place the cookie dough balls about 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheets.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake one sheet at a time for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and set, but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Cool and Glaze: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Maple Glaze (Optional): While the cookies are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and maple extract in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and allow it to set.
