Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if too thick or more powdered sugar if too thin.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle or spread the maple icing over the tops of the cookies.
