Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon maple extract

Maple Icing Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together with a hand mixer or stand mixer until fluffy.
  • Beat in the egg, maple syrup, vanilla, and maple extract.
  • Stir in the flour mixture until combined.
  • Drop by tablespoon onto an ungreased or parchment paper-lined baking sheet with about 2 inches between each to allow for spreading.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until set around the edges but still slightly soft in the middle.
  • Remove from oven and let cookies cool on a wire rack.
  • While the cookies cool, combine the icing ingredients of melted butter, powdered sugar and maple syrup. Stir until smooth. If needed you can add in a drop or two of water or another teaspoon of powdered sugar to achieve a thick consistency that will still drizzle from a spoon.
  • Drizzle icing over the cookies. I move them back to the parchment-lined baking sheet to do this for easy cleanup.

Notes

Store cookies covered in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
