Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Mix in maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies chewy.
