Ingredients
2 1/3 cups (291g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup (8 Tbsp; 113g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup (200g) packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1/3 cup (80ml) pure maple syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup (8 Tbsp; 113g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup (200g) packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1/3 cup (80ml) pure maple syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
(continued in the next column ↗️)
1 tsp maple extract
1 cup (130g) chopped pecans
Maple Icing
2 Tbsp (28g) unsalted butter
1/3 cup (80ml) pure maple syrup
1 cup (112g) sifted confectioners' sugar
Pinch salt, to taste
1 cup (130g) chopped pecans
Maple Icing
2 Tbsp (28g) unsalted butter
1/3 cup (80ml) pure maple syrup
1 cup (112g) sifted confectioners' sugar
Pinch salt, to taste
Directions
Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
Set aside.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar together on medium speed until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the egg and beat on high until combined, about 30 seconds.
Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and maple extract, then beat on high speed until combined.
Pour the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, then mix on low until combined.
Add the pecans, then beat on low speed until combined.
Dough will be creamy and soft.
Cover and chill the dough for 2 hours in the refrigerator (and up to 3 days).
If chilling for longer than a few hours, though, allow to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking because the dough will be quite hard.
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
Line 2-3 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Set aside.
Roll cookie dough into balls, about 1 1/2 Tbsp of dough per cookie.
Bake each batch for 12-13 minutes until lightly browned on the sides.
The centers will look very soft.
Remove from the oven.
If your warm cookies look puffy, lightly bang the pan on the counter when you remove it from the oven.
That will help slightly deflate the cookies, creating lovely cracks.
Cool cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the icing:
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and maple syrup together, whisking occasionally.
Once the butter has melted, remove from heat and whisk in the sifted confectioners' sugar.
Taste.
Add a pinch of salt, if desired.
Drizzle over cooled cookies.
Icing will set after about 1 hour.
Servings
Makes 28-30 cookies

💬 Uncle Dave says...
Cookie dough can be made ahead and chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow to come to room temperature before baking. Baked cookies freeze well for up to 3 months, and unbaked cookie dough balls can also be frozen for up to 3 months - just bake frozen dough balls for an extra minute. Dark brown sugar provides deeper flavor than light brown sugar. Use pure maple syrup rather than breakfast syrup for the best maple taste, and don't skip the maple extract - it really makes the maple flavor pop. Pecans are optional but add wonderful flavor and texture.
