Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.

- Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Do not overmix to keep cookies tender. Chill dough for 30 minutes for best results. Use high-quality ingredients for maximum flavor.
