Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (light or dark)
• 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
• 1 Large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.

Step 6

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough into 1.5-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 7

Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of granulated sugar on top of each dough ball for added texture and sweetness.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underdone. They will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pans for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea and enjoy!
