Maple Ginger Cookies are soft, chewy cookies with wonderful flavor!

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • turbinado sugar, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cooled butter and brown sugar until thoroughly combined. Add the egg and maple syrup, and mix well.
  • Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.
  • Cover and chill the dough for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
  • Using a tablespoonful of dough at a time, roll the dough into balls. Place the cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared pans. Flatten the tops of each cookie slightly. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar if you like.
  • Bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Cool on the pans on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Then transfer the cookies from the pans to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
