Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 240 g all-purpose flour 2 cups
  • 8 g cornstarch 1 tablespoon
  • 3 g baking soda 1/2 teaspoon
  • 3 g fine salt 1/2 teaspoon
  • 113 g unsalted butter 1/2 cup, softened
  • 150 g dark brown sugar 3/4 cup packed
  • 1 large egg about 50 g without shell
  • 75 g pure maple syrup divided: 60 g dough and 15 g glaze
  • 85 g powdered sugar 3/4 cup
  • 5 ml milk 1 teaspoon, plus drops only if needed

Method
 

  1. Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Beat the butter and brown sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and 60 g maple syrup. Stir in the dry ingredients just until no flour remains. Cover and refrigerate for 45 minutes.

  2. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two light-colored baking sheets with parchment. Divide the dough into 20 balls of about 31 g each. Space them 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Bake one sheet at a time for 10–11 minutes, until the edges are set and the middles still look soft but not wet. Keep the second sheet chilled while the first bakes.

  3. Cool for 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a rack and cool completely. Whisk the powdered sugar, remaining 15 g maple syrup and 5 ml milk. Add milk a few drops at a time only if needed for a thick drizzle. Drizzle over the cookies and let the glaze set before stacking.
