Maple Cookies

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

   Tip: Optional: use a silicone mat for easy cleanup.

2. 2

   Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized bowl.

   Tip: Make sure to sift the dry ingredients to avoid lumps.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, cream together the butter and maple syrup until light and fluffy.

   Tip: Use an electric mixer for best results.

4. 4

   Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the cinnamon and chopped walnuts.

   Tip: Don't overmix the batter, or the cookies will be tough.

5. 5

   Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

   Tip: Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl.

6. 6

   Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking tray, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

   Tip: Use a cookie scoop or spoon for uniform cookies.

7. 7

   Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

   Tip: Don't overbake, or the cookies will be too crispy.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

   Tip: Let the cookies cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

9. 9

   Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

   Tip: Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 2 months.
