Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Maple Cookies With Maple Icing:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and well combined.
4. Add the Egg and Flavorings: Beat in the egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Shape the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form dough balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each.
7. Bake Them: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
8. Cool Cookies: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Prepare the Icing: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and maple syrup. Add milk a little at a time until you achieve a smooth and drizzling consistency.
10. Ice the Cookies: Once cookies are fully cooled, drizzle the maple icing over the tops using a spoon or a piping bag for a decorative touch.
