Ingredients
Scale
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 tsp maple extract
1 large egg
1 cup white chocolate melting wafers
Holly berry sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In another bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in maple syrup, maple extract, and egg.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients to form a soft dough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Measure dough into 1.5 oz balls and place on the baking sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes or until edges are set and tops are puffed.
Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
Melt white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power.
Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate and place on parchment paper to set.
Pour remaining white chocolate into a piping bag and drizzle over the dipped portion.
Add holly berry sprinkles before the drizzle sets, if using.
Notes
Use pure maple syrup, not imitation, for best flavor.
Do not overbake—cookies should be puffed and slightly cracked on top.
Use a kitchen scale for uniform cookie size.
Store in an airtight container with parchment between layers.
