Instructions
Cooking
- Prep. Set the oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream. Beat the butter and brown sugar until creamy, then mix in the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla.
- Dough. Whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, then stir into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Bake. Drop spoonfuls onto the sheets and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden, then cool completely.
- Ice. Stir the powdered sugar and maple syrup until smooth, then spread over the cooled cookies.
Notes
Substitutions: Use maple extract in place of the vanilla for a stronger maple flavor.
Tips: Cool the cookies completely before icing so the topping sets.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze unfrosted cookies for up to 3 months.
