  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup (pure)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: Start by creaming softened butter with brown sugar until light and fluffy. Then, blend in the pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring your cookies will have that luscious moist texture from the start.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. This evenly distributes the leavening agent and spices, providing a consistent flavor and perfect rise to each cookie.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender and chewy instead of dense.
  4. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step helps control the spread of the cookies during baking and enhances the chewy texture you crave.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers still look soft. This timing locks in moisture for that perfect chew.

Notes

  • Use real pure maple syrup for the most authentic flavor.
  • Don’t overbake; remove cookies when edges are set but centers appear slightly underdone.
  • Measure flour carefully by spooning and leveling to prevent dry, crumbly cookies.
  • Chill dough before baking to control spread and improve chewiness.
  • Add mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips after chilling to avoid toughening the dough.
