Maple Brown Sugar Cookies are soft, chewy, and bursting with rich maple flavor, topped with a smooth glaze for extra sweetness!

Ingredients

Cookies

  • 2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup stick unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon maple extract

Maple Glaze

  • ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ teaspoon maple extract
  • Pinch kosher salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes.
  • Add the egg and mix until fully combined.
  • Pour in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and maple extract. Beat on high speed until the mixture is well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  • Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll each scoop into a ball. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the cookies for 8–9 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain slightly soft.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the confectioners’ sugar, maple syrup, melted butter, maple extract, and a pinch of kosher salt. Whisk until smooth to form the glaze.
  • Once the cookies are fully cooled, drizzle the maple glaze over the tops. Let the glaze set before serving.
