Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the Cinnamon-Maple Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1–2 teaspoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until fully combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop or two spoons to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Optionally, gently roll each ball for round cookies.
  7. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges and soft in the center. Do not overbake.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, milk, and a pinch of salt until smooth and pourable.
  10. Drizzle or spread glaze over cooled cookies. Let glaze set for about 10 minutes before stacking or storing.

Notes

For extra soft cookies, use room temperature butter and egg. Chill dough for 20 minutes if cookies spread too much. Spoon and level flour for accuracy. Wait until cookies are cool before glazing. Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep cookies soft. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour or a 1:1 gluten-free blend. For vegan, use plant-based butter and a flaxseed egg.
