How to Make Lighter Maple Chocolate Chip Cookies Easy

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line one or two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup (60ml) sour cream until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1/4 cup (60ml) pure maple syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Stir in 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Gently flatten each cookie to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
