- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon maple extract
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- For the Maple Icing:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and maple extract. Mix until combined. Pour in the maple syrup and mix again until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Do not overbake.
Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Let them cool completely before icing.
To make the icing, combine the powdered sugar and maple syrup in a bowl. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until a smooth, spreadable consistency is achieved.
Use a spoon or spatula to drizzle or spread icing over cooled cookies. Allow icing to set before serving or storing.
