Ingredient Breakdown

These cookies are so simple yet loaded with flavor. Let’s break it down!

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened: Don’t skip on the butter; it’s what gives these cookies that rich, creamy texture!

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar: For a bit of sweetness!

• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon: This is what takes your cookies to cozy town.

Let’s Get Cooking!

So, let’s dive into how to make these chewy, dreamy cookies that you’ll be craving all week long!

1. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Just whisk it till it’s nice and airy! You’re going to love how it smells.

2. Mix in the egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined, scraping down the sides as needed. Take a moment to enjoy that heavenly aroma from the maple syrup, it’s seriously intoxicating!

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. You want a nice, thick dough, so no over-mixing please!

4. Chill that delicious dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Patience is key here! It’s going to make your cookies perfectly chewy.

5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper. I recommend using two sheets so you can bake in batches.

6. Now, for the fun part! Portion the dough into 1.5 oz balls and place them on the baking sheets. Give them a little space; they’ll spread on their own!

7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Seriously, your kitchen will smell like a nostalgic cozy cafe.

8. Once they’re out of the oven, let them sit on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Don’t skip this step, this cooling time helps the cookies firm up just right.

9. While those cookies are cooling, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until silky smooth. Dip half of each cookie in the chocolate and let them set on parchment until the chocolate hardens. Enjoy the little pieces of heaven that you just created!
