These cookies bring the rich flavor of maple syrup into a delightful treat, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents cookies from sticking.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Use room temperature butter for easier mixing.
Add the egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until smooth.
Mix well to ensure the ingredients are fully incorporated.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Whisking helps to evenly distribute the baking soda and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll them in granulated sugar to coat.
Chill the dough for easier handling if it's too sticky.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Leave enough space for the cookies to spread while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Cooling on the baking sheet helps the cookies firm up before moving.
