Soft and chewy maple cookies sweetened with pure maple syrup and finished with white chocolate. Perfect fall treat with caramel-like flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or white chocolate melting wafers
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract to butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
  5. Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in nuts if using.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Chill dough 30 minutes for best results.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Centers should look slightly underbaked and glossy.
  8. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  9. Melt white chocolate in small saucepan over low heat or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  10. Dip half of each cooled cookie into melted white chocolate, shake off excess, and place on parchment paper. Let set for 15-30 minutes.

Notes

  • Use pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup, for best flavor. Grade A amber works perfectly.
  • Don’t overbake if you want chewy cookies. They’ll continue cooking on the hot pan after removal from oven.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading.
  • Add 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening to white chocolate if too thick for dipping.
