Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup (230 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Shimmering Sugar Topping:

  • 1/4 cup (50 g) coarse or sparkling sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Mix in the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
  4. Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
  5. Shape the cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass.
  7. Add the shimmering sugar topping: Mix the coarse sugar and cinnamon (if using) in a small bowl. Sprinkle a generous pinch of the mixture over each cookie.
  8. Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.
  9. Cool and serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
