Ingredients
Cookies
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (64 g) cake flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (170 g) white chocolate chips
- 1 cup (109 g) chopped pecans
Glaze
- 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk, or more until it reaches your desired consistency
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cookies
- In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed, cream butter and brown sugar together.
- Add egg and vanilla. Mix on low until all ingredients are incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flours, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
- Mix in white chocolate chips and pecans.
Assembly
- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, drop the dough onto a lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. (I usually put 6 cookie dough balls onto each cookie sheet.)
- Using your hand, gently press each dough ball to flatten slightly.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the cookies are just starting to brown.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool as you prepare the glaze.
Glaze
- To make the glaze, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup, and heavy cream until smooth and glossy.
- Drizzle glaze over cooled cookies.
