Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups (313 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- ⅓ cup (105 g) pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (126 g) semisweet chocolate, chopped, plus more for topping (optional)
- Flaky salt, for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes, or until creamy.
- Add the egg and mix until combined. Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Beat until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until no dry streaks remain.
- Fold in the chopped chocolate.
- Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon portions and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Press a few extra chocolate pieces onto the tops, if desired. Sprinkle with flaky salt, if using.
- Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
