Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces white chocolate chips or melting wafers
Flaky sea salt, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Cream the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
2. Add in the maple syrup, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until just combined.
5. Chill the dough in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Scoop dough into 1.5 tablespoon balls and place on the sheet, leaving room to spread.
8. Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are soft.
9. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
10. Melt white chocolate in 20-second microwave increments, stirring in between.
11. Dip half of each cooled cookie in white chocolate and place on parchment.
12. Sprinkle with sea salt immediately and let the chocolate set before serving.
Notes
Use pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup) for the richest flavor.
Chilling the dough helps prevent overspreading and enhances chewiness.
Sprinkle sea salt right after dipping while chocolate is still wet for best adhesion.
