Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups (300 grams) all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup (114 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup (220 grams) light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup (80 grams) dark maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon maple extract

Maple Butter Glaze

  • 3 tablespoons (43 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons (60 grams) dark maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
  • 1 ½ cups (180 grams) confectioners’ sugar
  • 1–3 tablespoons milk (to desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium to large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature butter and light brown sugar using an electric hand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: To the creamed butter and sugar, add the egg, dark maple syrup, vanilla extract, and maple extract. Beat again for 1-2 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, beating until the dough is fully combined and smooth.
  6. Scoop Cookies: Using a small cookie scoop, portion the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 minutes until the edges are set but the center remains soft. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
  8. Cool Cookies: Transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack and allow them to cool completely before glazing.
  9. Prepare Maple Butter Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, dark maple syrup, vanilla extract, maple extract, confectioners’ sugar, and milk. Adjust milk quantity to achieve a smooth, drizzleable consistency.
  10. Glaze Cookies: Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies evenly. Let the glaze set before serving or storing the cookies.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is at room temperature for easier creaming and better texture.
  • Scoop cookies evenly for uniform size and baking.
  • Adjust milk in glaze gradually to avoid an overly thin consistency.
  • Maple extract can be omitted if unavailable, but it enhances the maple flavor profile.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For a stronger maple flavor, use dark maple syrup as stated.
