Here’s a delicious recipe for Maple Cookies with Maple Icing—soft, sweet, and full of maple flavor 🍁🍪
Maple Cookies with Maple Icing
Makes about 24 cookies
Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp pure maple syrup
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
For the Maple Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1–2 tsp milk (optional, to thin if needed)
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cookie Dough
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in egg and maple syrup until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing until just combined.
3. Shape Cookies
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheets 2 inches apart.
- Flatten slightly with your fingers or the bottom of a glass.
4. Bake
- Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
5. Make the Maple Icing
- In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar with maple syrup.
- If the icing is too thick, add 1–2 tsp milk until smooth.
6. Ice the Cookies
- Once cookies are completely cool, drizzle or spread icing on top.
- Let icing set before serving.
Tips
- Use real maple syrup for the best flavor—pancake syrup doesn’t taste as rich.
- Optional: sprinkle a few chopped pecans on the icing for crunch.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
If you want, I can also give a quick one-bowl version that makes soft, chewy maple cookies in under 30 minutes.
