Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 and 1/3 cups (291g) all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp; 113g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup (200g) packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon maple extract
  • 1 cup (130g) chopped pecans
  • 2 Tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup (112g) sifted confectioners’ sugar
  • pinch salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  2. Cream the butter and brown sugar together on medium speed until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Add the egg and beat on high until combined, about 30 seconds. Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and maple extract; beat on high speed until fully combined.
  3. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture: Mix on low speed until just combined. Add chopped pecans and mix on low until incorporated. The dough will be creamy and soft.
  4. Cover the dough: Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days. If chilling longer than a few hours, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before rolling out.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C): Line two to three large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  6. Shape cookie dough balls: Use about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Place them on prepared sheets.
  7. Bake each batch: For about 12-13 minutes until lightly browned at the edges. The centers should look very soft.
  8. Remove cookies from the oven: Bang the pan lightly on the counter if they appear puffy. Let cool on baking sheets for about five minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. For icing: Melt butter with maple syrup in a saucepan. Whisk in sifted confectioners’ sugar. Add a pinch of salt if desired; drizzle over cooled cookies.
