Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies
  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, brown sugar, pure maple syrup, and maple extract until smooth. Then add the egg, mixing until fully integrated.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and fine salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.
  3. Form the Cookie Dough: Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Scoop and Shape Cookies: Form the dough into 1.5-ounce balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each ball.
  6. Bake the Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and centers slightly puffy. They will continue to cook after removing from the oven.
  7. Rest and Cool: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  8. Melt the Chocolate: Place white chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  9. Dip the Cookies: Once cool, dip half of each cookie into the melted chocolate and place on parchment paper to set.
  10. Drizzle and Decorate: Drizzle remaining melted chocolate over the dipped part of each cookie and sprinkle with holly berry sprinkles, if desired.
  11. Serve or Store: Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.
