Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and packed brown sugar. Beat on medium speed for about 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate pure maple syrup, a large egg, and vanilla extract into the mixture. Mix on low speed until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring on low speed until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into 1½-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Flatten each ball with your palm to create a disk shape.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes until the edges are golden brown and centers are set but still soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth to make the glaze.
- Drizzle the maple glaze over each cooled cookie.

Notes
For best results, ensure your butter and egg are at room temperature. To customize flavor, you can substitute ground cinnamon with ginger or cardamom.
