Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 & 1/3 cups old-fashioned oats

For the Maple Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and maple extract until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the old-fashioned oats gently to distribute evenly.
  2. Shape and Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and centers are set but still soft. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Make the Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, melted butter, and pure maple syrup. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until the glaze reaches a smooth, pourable consistency that is not too runny.
  4. Glaze the Cookies: Once the cookies have cooled completely, drizzle the maple glaze over the top of each cookie using a spoon or a small whisk. Allow the glaze to set for at least 15-20 minutes before serving to ensure a perfect finish.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve these delicious maple glazed oatmeal cookies with a cup of coffee or tea. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil and use a plant-based milk for the glaze.
  • If you prefer a stronger maple flavor, increase the maple extract in the cookie dough slightly but be cautious as it can become overpowering.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • To make gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend suitable for baking.
