These maple slice and bake cookies are my go to when I want something impressive without spending all afternoon in the kitchen. Just mix up the dough, chill it, slice, and bake. The pure maple syrup gives these cookies a wonderfully rich flavor while also providing natural antioxidants, and the walnuts add a delightful crunch and heart healthy fats. What I love most is that the whole process takes less than an hour from start to finish, making it perfect for when you need homemade treats fast. The combination of cinnamon, dark chocolate, and that hit of sea salt on top creates something truly special that tastes far more complicated than it actually is.

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Tip: Make sure the parchment paper is large enough to fit the cookies without overlapping.
- 2
Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
Tip: Use a wire whisk or a fork to mix the dry ingredients evenly.
- 3
Cream the butter and maple syrup in a large bowl using an electric mixer.
Tip: Start with a slow speed and gradually increase the speed for a light and fluffy mixture.
- 4
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl after each addition for an even mix.
- 5
Mix in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and chopped dark chocolate.
Tip: Use a rubber spatula to fold the chocolate into the mixture for a chunky texture.
- 6
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Tip: Don't overmix, or the cookies will become tough and dense.
- 7
Stir in the chopped walnuts.
Tip: Add the walnuts at this stage to maintain their texture and prevent them from getting crushed during baking.
- 8
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking tray, leaving 5cm of space between each cookie.
Tip: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the dough for uniform cookies.
- 9
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Tip: Check the cookies after 10 minutes and bake for an additional 2-5 minutes if needed.
