Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons maple extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
For the Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon maple extract
- 2 Tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with both sugars for 2-3 minutes until fully combined. Add in egg yolks and maple extract, beating until fluffy.
- Add flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. The mixture will be crumbly, but continue beating until a cookie dough ball forms.
- Using a 2 Tablespoon cookie scoop, drop cookie dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until edges are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and immediately tap the tops of the cookies lightly with the back of a spatula. Allow cookies to cool on pans for several minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar with maple extract and milk. Drizzle over cooled cookies and allow to set, for about half an hour.

Notes
- These cookies use a little extra kosher salt than my traditional drop sugar cookie. The salt balances the maple flavor beautifully.
- Toffee bits would be a delicious addition to these chewy cookies. Either fold in 1 cup to the batter before baking, or sprinkle them on the maple icing before it sets.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- Freeze baked cookies in an airtight freezer safe container for up to 3 months.
