Maple Cookies With Maple Icing are soft, chewy cookies infused with pure maple syrup and topped with a sweet maple glaze. Perfect for fall or any time you’re craving a cozy, flavorful treat.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Maple Icing:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or cream (as needed for consistency)
  • 1/2 tsp maple extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract; mix until fully combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are set.
  8. Cool cookies on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. To make the icing, whisk together powdered sugar and maple syrup, adding milk/cream a little at a time until smooth and pourable. Stir in maple extract if desired.
  10. Drizzle or spread icing over cooled cookies. Allow to set before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Use Grade A dark maple syrup for the richest flavor.
  • Chill dough before baking for thicker cookies.
  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts for texture.
  • Freeze cookies (with or without icing) for up to 2 months.
  • Let icing fully set before stacking or storing cookies.
