Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and promote even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Maple Syrup: Add eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate them. Then stir in the maple syrup to infuse the cookies with rich sweetness.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and spices throughout the dough.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the cookies.
  6. Shape Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart to allow for spreading.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft and chewy.
  8. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for five minutes to firm up before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a stronger maple flavor, consider drizzling a small amount of extra maple syrup over the cookies right after baking.
  • These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
  • To keep them soft, you can place a slice of bread in the container with the cookies; the bread will help maintain moisture.
  • If you prefer a crunchier texture, add an extra minute or two to the baking time, but watch carefully to avoid overbaking.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking flour blend following the package instructions.
