Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (1 stick or 113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup (60 ml) pure maple syrup
- ¾ cup (120 g) white chocolate chunks or chips
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper, creating a smooth, non-stick surface for the cookies.
- Mixing Dough: Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Blend in maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract. Sift flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt together, then gently fold into the wet ingredients. Carefully fold in white chocolate chunks, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Shaping Cookies: Form uniform dough balls by rolling between palms, creating smooth, rounded portions. Place cookies on prepared baking sheets, spacing them to allow room for spreading during baking.
- Baking Process: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, watching for golden edges while maintaining a soft, tender center. The goal is achieving a perfect balance between crisp exterior and chewy interior.
- Cooling and Storage: Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for five minutes to set, then transfer to a wire cooling rack. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container to preserve their delectable texture for up to five days.
Notes
- Chill Dough for Texture: Refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and create a more concentrated, chewy texture.
- Precise Chocolate Distribution: Gently press additional white chocolate chunks on top of each dough ball before baking to ensure visible, melty chocolate in every bite.
- Monitor Baking Carefully: Watch cookies closely during the 8-10 minute window; ovens vary, and a minute can transform chewy cookies into crisp ones.
- Adjust for Dietary Needs: Substitute gluten-free flour blend for all-purpose flour and use dairy-free white chocolate for individuals with dietary restrictions.
