Description
Soft and chewy maple cookies topped with smooth white chocolate, drizzled with semi-sweet chocolate, and finished with sparkling sugar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp maple extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or white melting wafers
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, for drizzling
- 1 tsp coconut oil, divided
- Sparkling sugar or coarse raw sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together with a whisk or electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the pure maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, and maple extract until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft cookie dough forms.
- Scoop out 1.5-tablespoon portions of dough and roll them into smooth balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are just set and lightly golden. The centers will still look soft and underbaked.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, gently melt the white chocolate with 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. In a separate small bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil.
- Spoon or dip the smooth white chocolate onto the center of each cooled cookie. Immediately drizzle the melted dark chocolate back and forth over the top.
- Finish with a generous sprinkle of sparkling sugar. Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature or in the fridge for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Keep the cookie centers soft by avoiding overbaking. Let the cookies cool completely before adding the chocolate toppings so the decoration sets properly.
