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