1tspcinnamon
1cupwhite chocolate chips
Instructions
In the bowl of your standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and brown sugar for about 1-2 minutes until mixed well and creamy. Add the maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, and maple extract and mix until well combined.
In a large bowl, combine gluten-free flour, salt, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. Whisk to combine.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring in between each addition.
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips by hand.
Cover and chill the dough for about 30 minutes in the fridge. You can chill the dough longer or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350º F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Portion out the dough into 2-3 tablespoon balls. You should be able to make about 18 balls of dough in total. Place the dough on a baking sheet about 3-inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are set and light brown. Do not overbake. The cookies will continue to bake and firm up as they cool.
Allow cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Maple extract is important in this cookie to ensure it tastes like a maple cookie. While pure maple syrup adds moisture and flavor, the strong maple flavor will come from the extract.I like to use a medium-sized cookie scoop to make sure that each cookie is the same size and bakes in the same amount of time. Always use pure maple syrup, not artificial pancake syrup (most pancake syrup is made from high fructose corn syrup).Most white chocolate chips are labeled gluten-free or do not contain gluten ingredients. Check labels for clarity.
