Instructions
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Mixing
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, and maple extract to the butter-sugar mix. Mix well until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Baking
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will look soft in the center.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Icing
In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with maple syrup until you reach the desired consistency for icing. If too thick, add a little more syrup.
Once cookies are cool, use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle or spread the icing on top. Sprinkle with sprinkles if desired. Allow the icing to set before serving.
Notes
Moderation is key, but these cookies can be a delightful treat for special occasions. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
