Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures a perfectly baked cookie with a chewy interior and slightly crispy edges.
- In a bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect cookie texture.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the creamed mixture. Mix until all ingredients are well-combined and the mixture is smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt together. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agent and spices throughout the dough.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until a dough forms, making sure not to overmix as this can lead to tough cookies.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Space them adequately to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cookies are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking, which can result in a loss of chewiness.
- Let cool on a wire rack. This helps the cookies firm up while maintaining their chewy texture.
