Ingredients
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
1. Cream the softened butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
2. Add in the egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
5. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and coat in powdered sugar.
8. Place on baking sheet spaced 2 inches apart.
9. Bake for 10–12 minutes until cracked on top and just set.
10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chill the dough well to ensure the perfect crinkle and prevent spreading.
Don’t skip the powdered sugar coating—it gives the cookies their signature look.
Use real maple syrup for the best depth of flavor and aroma.
