ingredients
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
- 2/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teasopon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
- 2 tabelspoons milk
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Frosting Ingredients
ingredients
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) softened butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teasopon vanilla extract
- 3/4 teasopon maple extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Method
Step 1
To make the cookies, cream together the softened butter and white & brown sugars. Add the egg, vanilla extract, maple extract, and milk. Stir until just combined.
Step 2
Add in the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir until a dough forms.
Step 3
Roll the dough into fourteen 2 tbsp balls. (I use an actual measuring tbsp for this). Slightly flatten the dough balls and place them on a plate. Cover the plate with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour to chill.
Step 4
Once chilled, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a large baking sheet. Then, place the sightly flattened and chilled dough balls on the prepared sheet - about three inches apart.
Step 5
Bake the cookies for 9-10 minutes. Then, remove them from the oven and cool them on a baking rack.
Step 6
To make the frosting use a mixer to slowly blend the softened butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and maple extract. Then, gradually add in the powdered sugar until fully combined - pausing to scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed. If the frosting seems too dry/thick, add a little milk until you achieve a smoother consistency.
Step 7
Once your cookies have cooled, use a butter knife or a small spatula to frost them. Enjoy!
