Here’s a delicious Maple Brown Sugar Cookies recipe that’s soft, chewy, and rich with maple flavor:

🍁 Maple Brown Sugar Cookies

Ingredients (Makes ~24 cookies)

Dry Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar

• 1/4 cup (60ml) pure maple syrup (use Grade A or B for strong flavor)

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 tsp maple extract (optional, for extra maple punch)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).

4. Add wet ingredients: Beat in the egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and maple extract (if using) until smooth and creamy.

5. Combine: Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Don’t overmix.

6. Scoop dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion dough balls (~1.5 tbsp each) onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.

7. Bake: Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look soft — that’s perfect.

8. Cool: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Optional Maple Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar
