Soft, chewy maple cookies dipped in creamy white chocolate—perfect for Christmas cookie trays, gifting, or cozy winter nights.
½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
¼ cup pure maple syrup
1 large egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
¾ cup white chocolate chips or melting wafers
In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until fluffy.
Beat in maple syrup, egg yolk, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Combine dry and wet ingredients until just mixed.
Chill dough for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls, space evenly, and bake for 9–11 minutes.
Cool on sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool fully.
Melt white chocolate in microwave-safe bowl. Dip each cookie halfway and let set on wax paper.
Add chopped nuts or drizzle instead of dipping for variations. Store in airtight container up to 5 days or freeze for 2 months.
