How to Make Maple Syrup Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
  4. In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon baking soda in 1 tablespoon of hot water. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup maple syrup.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
