Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined and smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in white chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set but still soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted. Room temperature butter creates the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't Overmix: When combining dry and wet ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense cookies.
- Uniform Size: Use a cookie scoop for consistent cookie sizes, which ensures even baking and professional-looking results.
- Maple Syrup Quality: Use pure, high-quality maple syrup for the most authentic and rich maple flavor.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This helps them set and prevents breaking.
- Storage Hack: To keep cookies fresh, store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain moisture.
- Customize: Feel free to add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for an extra flavor dimension.
