Here’s a delicious recipe for Maple Cookies with Maple Icing — soft, buttery cookies topped with a sweet, glossy maple glaze.
🍪 Maple Cookies
Ingredients (Cookies)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup maple syrup (pure if possible)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Ingredients (Maple Icing)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1–2 tsp milk (to thin if needed)
Instructions
1️⃣ Make the cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until fluffy.
- Mix in maple syrup and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet until a soft dough forms.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass.
- Bake 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool on a wire rack.
2️⃣ Make the icing
- In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with maple syrup.
- Add milk 1 tsp at a time if it’s too thick, until pourable.
- Drizzle or spread icing over cooled cookies.
- Let icing set before serving.
💡 Tips
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cookie dough.
- Use pure maple syrup for a rich, authentic taste.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days.
If you want, I can also give a chewy maple cookie version with gooey maple drizzle that’s perfect for maple lovers.
