Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (60ml) pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup (120g) white chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate chunks.
- Shape the Cookies:
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft. Avoid overbaking to maintain a chewy texture.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve:
- Enjoy the cookies warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
- For extra maple flavor, drizzle the cookies with a maple glaze made from powdered sugar, a splash of maple syrup, and a touch of milk.
- Chopped macadamia nuts or pecans can be added for added crunch and flavor.
