Description

These Shimmering Maple Crisp Cookies are delightfully crunchy, buttery, and infused with the rich, sweet flavor of maple syrup. With a touch of sugar sparkle on top, they’re perfect for the holidays or as a special treat any time of year!


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the cookies:

  • 1 cup (230 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the shimmering sugar topping:

  • 1/4 cup (50 g) coarse or sparkling sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)



Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar:
    • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add wet ingredients:
    • Mix in the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
  4. Combine the dry ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
  5. Shape the cookies:
    • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
    • Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass.
  6. Add the shimmering sugar topping:
    • Mix the coarse sugar and cinnamon (if using) in a small bowl. Sprinkle a generous pinch of the mixture over each cookie.
  7. Bake the cookies:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.
  8. Cool and serve:
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.



Notes

  • Maple Syrup: Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor; avoid pancake syrup.
  • Make it fancy: Drizzle the cookies with melted white chocolate or a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and maple syrup for an extra touch.
  • Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
