Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 large egg (or 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal whisked with 2.5 tablespoons water for a flax egg)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Mix in the pure maple syrup and the large egg (or flax egg) until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. For thicker cookies, cover the dough and let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (optional).
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Keywords: Consider adding chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruits for extra flavor. Adjust sweetness by reducing brown sugar or using a sugar substitute. A dash of cinnamon or nutmeg can enhance the maple flavor.
