Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cookies
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 3/4 cup brown sugar
    • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
    • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the Maple Glaze (Optional)
    • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/4 cup maple syrup
    • 1/21 tablespoon milk (optional, to adjust consistency)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated. (Optional: Chill the dough for 30-40 minutes for easier handling).
  • Portion and Bake: Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and place on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned while centers remain soft.
  • Prepare the Glaze (if using): In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until smooth. If needed, add milk to achieve desired consistency.
  • Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and let it set before serving.

Notes

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure the butter and egg are at room temperature. This helps them mix more smoothly and creates a better texture.
  • Chilling the Dough: Chilling the dough is optional but recommended if your dough is sticky, as it makes shaping easier.
  • Glaze Consistency: Adjust the thickness of the glaze by adding more or less milk to suit your preference.
  • Prep Time: 15 Minutes
