Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure it's at room temperature for easy mixing.
- 1 cup granulated sugar Gives the cookies their sweetness.
- 1 cup maple syrup Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor.
- 2 cups all-purpose flour Sifted for a lighter texture.
- 1 tsp baking soda Helps the cookies rise and stay soft.
- 0.5 tsp salt Enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds a nice undertone to the cookies.
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven heats, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until everything is well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will continue to cook slightly as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your soft maple sugar cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite warm beverage!
Notes
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days. Feel free to get creative and add in chocolate chips or nuts if desired!
