Preheat the oven to 180C (350F) and line baking sheets with parchment.
- 2

- 3
Cream the butter, maple syrup and brown sugar until fluffy, then beat in the egg and vanilla.
- 4
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- 5
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets, spaced well apart.
- 6
Bake 11-13 minutes until the edges are golden but the centres still look slightly soft.
- 7
Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a rack.
Chef's tips
Pull the cookies out while the centres still look a touch underdone, as they continue to firm up while cooling on the hot sheet.
Ingredient substitutions
- maple syrup → honey, though the maple flavour will be lost
Storage
Keeps 1 week in an airtight container.
Reheating
No reheating necessary; serve at room temperature.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Overbaking, which makes them hard rather than chewy
- •Overmixing the dough, toughening the cookies
