Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup (1 stick or 113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups (220 grams) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (100 grams) brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Extras:
- ¾ cup (120 grams) white chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
- Warm the kitchen oven to a gentle 350F (175C), ensuring the interior reaches the ideal temperature. Carefully line two baking trays with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for the delicate maple-infused cookies.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, transform butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar into a silky, aerated mixture. Introduce maple syrup, a single egg, and vanilla extract, whisking until the ingredients harmonize completely. In a separate vessel, combine flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt through a gentle sifting motion. Merge the dry ingredients with the creamy wet mixture, folding with a light touch to maintain the dough’s delicate structure. Gently incorporate white chocolate chunks, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a tablespoon, craft uniform dough balls, rolling them between palms to create smooth, perfectly rounded morsels. Arrange the cookies on prepared baking sheets, allowing ample space between each for gentle expansion during baking.
- Slide the trays into the preheated oven, allowing the cookies to transform for 8-10 minutes. Watch for subtle golden edges while preserving a tender, pillowy center. The key is maintaining a delicate balance between crisp exterior and chewy interior.
- Once removed from the oven, let the cookies rest momentarily on the baking sheet, allowing them to firm slightly. After five minutes, transfer to a wire cooling rack, permitting complete cooling and flavor development. These maple-kissed treats can be savored immediately or preserved in an airtight container, maintaining their irresistible texture for up to five days.
Notes
- Maple Syrup Selection: Choose high-quality, pure maple syrup for the most authentic and rich flavor that elevates these cookies beyond ordinary sweetness.
- Chocolate Chunk Customization: Chop white chocolate bars into irregular chunks for more texture and melty pockets, creating an artisanal feel compared to uniform chips.
- Moisture Preservation Technique: Remove cookies from the oven when edges are golden but centers appear slightly underbaked, ensuring a supremely soft and chewy interior that stays moist for days.
- Dietary Adaptation: Swap regular flour with gluten-free blend and use dairy-free butter alternative to make these cookies accessible for people with dietary restrictions without compromising delicious maple-cinnamon profile.
