Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (90g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • Optional: Chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: Pinch of nutmeg
  • Optional: Dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat unsalted butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Fold in nuts or cranberries if using.
  5. Scoop dough by tablespoonfuls (about 1 inch balls) and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. If dough is too soft, chill for 10 minutes before scooping.
  6. Bake for 9-12 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly underdone. Rotate pans halfway through baking.
  7. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  8. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat white chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
  9. Drizzle melted white chocolate over cooled cookies using a spoon, piping bag, or zip-top bag with a snipped corner. Let set for 30 minutes or refrigerate for quicker setting.
  10. Once drizzle is firm, store cookies in an airtight container or serve on a festive plate. Enjoy fresh or store for up to 5 days.

Notes

For best flavor, use pure maple syrup and room temperature ingredients. If dough is sticky, chill briefly before scooping. Cookies are best when slightly underbaked for a chewy texture. Customize with nuts, dried fruit, or extra spices. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
