Preparation
Step 1
DO NOT preheat oven — dough must chill before baking. - Bake the cookies at 350 degrees
Melt the butter and then mix in the sugar. Set the bowl aside on the counter to cool to room temperature.
Once the mixture is cool, add the beaten eggs. Mix everything thoroughly.
Mix in the maple syrup, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract.
Add the flour in one-cup increments, mixing after each addition.
Chill the dough for at least 2 hours before baking. (Overnight is fine, too.)
When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F., rack in the middle position.
Place ½ cup white sugar in a shallow bowl. You’ll use this to coat your dough balls.
Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls with your impeccably clean hands.
Roll the dough balls in the bowl of sugar to coat them and then place them on greased cookie sheets, 12 cookies to a standard-sized sheet.
Flatten the dough balls with the back of a metal spatula.
Bake the cookies at 350 degrees F. for 10 to 12 minutes or until they are nicely browned.
