Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 ounces white chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy.
4. Add the egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth and fully combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until a soft dough forms.
6. Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too soft to scoop cleanly.
7. Scoop the dough into even portions and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look soft.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate and place them on parchment paper.
11. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the chocolate before it sets.
12. Let the chocolate harden completely before serving or storing.
Notes
Use real maple syrup for the best flavor since pancake syrup will make the cookies taste flatter and overly sweet.
Let the cookies cool completely before dipping so the white chocolate sets smoothly instead of sliding off.
