Ingredients<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon baking soda<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon salt<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd cup unsalted butter, softened<\/li>\n
  • \u2153 cup pure maple syrup<\/li>\n
  • \u00bc cup brown sugar<\/li>\n
  • 1 large egg<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons milk (if needed)<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd cup old-fashioned rolled oats (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong> and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/li>\n
    2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.<\/li>\n
    3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy.<\/li>\n
    4. Add the maple syrup, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, then mix until well combined.<\/li>\n
    5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too thick, stir in the milk one tablespoon at a time.<\/li>\n
    6. Fold in the oats and chopped nuts if using.<\/li>\n
    7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.<\/li>\n
    8. Bake for 10\u201312 minutes<\/strong>, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.<\/li>\n
    9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n

      Enjoy these cookies with a hot cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of cold milk. They’re also delicious drizzled with a little extra maple syrup or spread with almond butter.<\/p>\n
