Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup Maple Syrup Provides moisture and enhances chewiness; consider substituting with honey for a different flavor.
  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar Adds a depth of sweetness and a chewy texture; best not to substitute for optimal results.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Creates richness for a tender crumb; use unsalted butter for precise control over salt content.
  • 1 large Eggs Binds ingredients together; ensure they are at room temperature for optimal mixing.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Forms the structure of the cookies; gluten-free flour can be used as a substitute if needed.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Acts as a leavening agent for a light rise; always check for freshness to achieve the best results.
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon Infuses cookies with warm, spicy flavor; using freshly ground cinnamon will maximize the taste.
  • 1 cup White Chocolate Wafers Adds a sweet, creamy finish to each bite; feel free to swap with dark or semi-sweet chocolate if preferred.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances sweetness and balances flavors; using fine sea salt ensures even distribution throughout the dough.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup until creamy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavors and texture.
  2. Once chilled, remove the dough from the refrigerator and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or scale, portion out the dough into 1.5-ounce balls for uniform cookies. Arrange the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheets with about two inches of space between each to allow for spreading during baking.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it reaches the right temperature for even baking. While the oven heats up, double-check that your baking sheets are ready and that the cookie balls are evenly spaced.
  4. Once the oven is preheated, carefully place the baking sheets in the oven. Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
  5. After baking, remove the sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks. Once cooled, melt your white chocolate wafers and dip the tops of the cookies in the melted chocolate. Optionally, you can drizzle more chocolate or sprinkle decorations on top for an elegant touch.
