Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup (Grade A for best flavor)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Brown Butter Icing:

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1–2 tbsp milk
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)

For Garnish:

  • Flaky sea salt or chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Mix Cookie Dough: Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add maple syrup, egg, and vanilla. Gradually stir in dry ingredients until dough forms. Chill dough 30 minutes.
  2. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake 10–12 minutes, until golden at the edges. Cool completely.
  3. Make Icing: Brown the butter in a saucepan until golden and aromatic. Remove from heat, then whisk in powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until glaze is smooth. Add cinnamon if using.
  4. Finish: Spread icing over cooled cookies. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt or pecans before icing sets.
  5. Serve: These maple cookies with maple icing are homemade perfection—sweet, cozy, and utterly delish.
