Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and eggs until fully incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Add White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the white chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden while the centers remain soft and chewy.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can toast the white chocolate chips lightly before adding them to the dough.
- Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to maintain cookie tenderness.
- If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, feel free to increase the ground cinnamon to 1 1/2 teaspoons.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep them fresh.
