Maple Brown Sugar Cookies

Maple Brown Sugar Cookies

Happy day three of cookie week! If you missed my first two recipes, you can find my snowball cookies here and my chocolate-dipped brownie cookies here. I love the addition of these maple brown sugar cookies for Christmas. They are almost like a cross between a snickerdoodle and a ginger molasses cookie, and they are holiday perfection. The maple and brown sugar flavor combination tastes Christmassy, and finishing with a maple frosting and sprinkle of sea salt complete the cookie.

Maple Brown Sugar Cookies

These cookies do require some planning because like many cookies, they require some chilling time. Since they are sweetened with both brown sugar and maple syrup, the dough will be softer than traditional cookie dough and it will need to chill. You can chill the dough for an hour or two, or chill it overnight like I did. The chilling process also helps the flavors come together for a really delicious, chewy cookie that’s flavorful and great for Christmas, or anytime of year.

Maple Brown Sugar Cookies

It’s important in this recipe, and in all recipes, to measure the brown sugar correctly. This recipe calls for packed brown sugar. That means you will use a spoon to pack down the brown sugar into the measuring cup until the cup is completely full. After creaming together butter and sugar, add an egg and whip until light and fluffy. It’s important that your egg is at room temperature! Then add your vanilla extract and maple syrup and mix in the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, and salt. It’s a simple recipe with simple pantry staples that’s absolutely delicious. After baking these maple brown sugar cookies, drizzle on the maple frosting. The frosting is made from powdered sugar, maple syrup, and just a dash of water to get the right consistency. You can drizzle it on like I did here, or spread it on evenly. An optional sprinkle of sea salt finishes the cookies!

Maple Brown Sugar Cookies
Cuisine: Cookie
Prep time:  15 mins
Cook time:  10 mins
Total time:  25 mins
Serves: 24 cookies
 
Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
Maple Brown Sugar Cookies
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt
Maple Frosting
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 3-4 tbsp. pure maple syrup
  • Water for thinning, as necessary
  • Flakey sea salt for topping, optional
Instructions
  1. Using a stand mixer or a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together butter and brown sugar. Add the egg and mix until light and fluffy. Then add the maple syrup and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add these ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until just combined.
  3. Refrigerate for a minimum of one hour and up to several hours.
  4. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. Form the dough into balls and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers begin to set.
  6. Allow the cookies to cool completely before making the maple frosting. In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and maple syrup together until very smooth. Add a dash or two of water to thin if necessary.
  7. Drizzle or spread the frosting over the cooled cookies and sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.
  8. Enjoy!

Happy second birthday to our sweet Killian Michael Happy second birthday to our sweet Killian Michael! Describing you as sweet is so accurate because you absolutely are the sweetest boy. You’re so easygoing and a joy to be around. You took your time learning to walk but now you are running everywhere, always with a car or truck in hand. You learn new words every day, and when you see a truck, train, plane, or “copa copter” that you’re excited about, you shriek “MOMMY” at increasing volume until I acknowledge what you’ve seen. You will happily drive cars and trucks for hours with a subtle “vroom” as you play. Your favorite day of the week is garbage truck day. You love going to the zoo and seeing animals and always point out the “woof woofs” you see on our hikes and walks. You love when your brothers read to you but if they pick the wrong book, you slap it away and say “no” until you get the one you wanted. The second you hear the garage door at the end of the day you say “dada!” And wait at the door to run and give a hug. Sweet boy, you have brought us so much joy in these two years. You truly have the best disposition and personality. You are such a gift and we all adore you so much. Happy birthday boo bear! #killianmichael #birthdayboy #twoyearsold
