Description
Maple Brown Sugar Cookies: Soft, chewy cookies with rich maple flavor and brown sugar bliss—the perfect fall-inspired treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- Optional: 1–2 tbsp maple sugar or raw sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, maple syrup, and vanilla until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Optional: Sprinkle tops with maple sugar or raw sugar for a sweet crunch.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are set and centers are still soft.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- These cookies stay soft and chewy when stored in an airtight container.
- For extra maple aroma, brush tops with a touch more maple syrup before baking.
- Do not overbake; edges should be set while centers remain soft for chewy cookies.
- Yield about 24 cookies.
- Line the pan with parchment to prevent sticking and easy cleanup.
