Ingredients
  

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup 
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsps vanilla extract (or maple extract for extra flavor)
  • 1 tsp baking soda (or 2 tsp baking powder)
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, beat softened butter and brown sugar for 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Mix in maple syrup, egg, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt until no lumps remain.
  • Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until the dough comes together. Don’t overmix. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) to prevent spreading.
  • Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Scoop 1½-tablespoon-sized dough balls and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers look slightly soft. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
