Maple Brown Sugar Cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Set aside.

Step 3

To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter and brown sugar. Mix on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and mix until combined.

Step 5

Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and maple extract. Beat on high speed until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 6

Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.

Step 7

Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out portions of dough. Roll the dough into balls and place them on the baking sheets about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges, but still slightly doughy in the center.

Step 9

Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. While the cookies are cooling, make the glaze.

Step 10

In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, maple syrup, maple extract, confectioners’ sugar, and a pinch of kosher salt. Mix well to combine until smooth.

Step 11

Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the maple glaze over the tops.
