Maple Cookies Topped with Sweet Maple Icing

by

These Maple Cookies with Maple Icing are the perfect treat for anyone who loves the rich, comforting flavor of maple syrup. Soft and tender, the cookies are sweetened with pure maple syrup and brown sugar, making them the ultimate fall or holiday dessert.

Ingredients:

For the cookies:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (preferably pure)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the maple icing:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon milk (or as needed for desired consistency)

Directions:

  1. Prepare the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, maple syrup, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Make the maple icing: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk for a thinner icing or more powdered sugar for a thicker icing.
  8. Drizzle the maple icing over the cooled cookies. Let the icing set for about 15 minutes before serving.
