How to Make Chewy Maple Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened shortening and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg, ½ cup pure maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons, leaving 2 inches between each cookie, onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. For extra chewy cookies, remove them from the oven slightly before they are fully browned.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
