Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat softened unsalted butter and packed brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add pure maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until smoothly blended.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl, then combine with wet ingredients until just mixed.
  5. Scoop 1½-inch balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart, and flatten the tops.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  7. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Whisk powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth for glaze; drizzle over cooled cookies.
  9. Allow glaze to set before serving.
