Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 large Eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Maple Extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar (for cinnamon-sugar coating)
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (for cinnamon-sugar coating)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan and let it cool for a few minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cooled melted butter with both the brown sugar and granulated sugar until well combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and maple extract.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or by hand until just combined.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for the cinnamon-sugar coating.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop out balls of dough and roll each in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Place the coated cookie dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges are set and lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
