Here’s a simple guide for making Maple-Glazed Cookies — soft, slightly sweet, with a rich maple flavor:
🍪 Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150 g) brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
For the Maple Glaze
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1–2 tsp milk (optional, to thin glaze)
🥘 Instructions
1. Make the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla, mix until smooth.
- Mix dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt) in another bowl.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Shape cookies: Scoop or roll dough into balls and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely.
2. Make the Maple Glaze
- Mix powdered sugar and maple syrup until smooth.
- Add milk gradually if the glaze is too thick.
- Drizzle or spread glaze over cooled cookies.
- Let glaze set before serving (~30 minutes).
✅ Tips
- For extra flavor, add ½ tsp cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough.
- You can dip half the cookie in glaze instead of drizzling for a decorative look.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days.
