Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until light and creamy. Add maple syrup, egg, and vanilla; mix until smooth.
