Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup Maple Syrup Provides sweetness and a rich flavor; substitute with agave syrup for a different sweetness level.
  • 1 teaspoon Maple Extract Enhances the maple flavor; can be omitted if you prefer a milder taste.
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Adds moisture and a deep sweetness; use light brown sugar for a lighter flavor profile.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (melted) Creates a rich, soft texture; swap for coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 large Egg Binds the ingredients together; a flax egg can be used for a vegan alternative.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; replace it with a gluten-free flour blend for a dietary-friendly option.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Infuses warm spice flavors characteristic of holiday treats.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Essential for helping the cookies rise.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Balances the overall sweetness to enhance flavor.
For the White Chocolate Drizzle
  • 1 cup White Chocolate Melting Wafers Adds a creamy finish; consider dark chocolate for a more robust taste.
For Decoration
  • 1 tablespoon Holly Berry Sprinkles Optional garnish that adds a festive touch to your cookies.

Equipment

  • microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the maple syrup and maple extract, stirring until fully combined. Then, incorporate the beaten egg, mixing until the mixture is uniform and glossy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a cohesive dough forms.
  3. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Once the dough has chilled, use a cookie scoop to portion out balls of dough, about 1.5 ounces each. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes.
  7. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
  8. Melt the white chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth and creamy.
  9. Once cooled, dip half of each cookie into the melted white chocolate and place them back on the parchment paper. Drizzle additional melted chocolate over the tops and sprinkle with holly berry sprinkles.
  10. Allow the chocolate drizzle to harden completely, approximately 30 minutes at room temperature.
