Capture the cozy essence of fall with Frosted Maple Cookies, packed with the rich sweetness of pure maple syrup and topped with a creamy frosting. Perfect for any autumn occasion, these soft, chewy treats bring warmth and flavor to your gatherings or quiet afternoons by the fire.
As the crisp air of fall rolls in and images of leaves turning vibrant shades of red and gold, it’s the perfect time to indulge in flavors that embody the season. One of my favorite ways to capture the essence of autumn is with Frosted Maple Cookies. These soft, chewy cookies are packed with the rich, earthy sweetness of pure maple syrup, a staple of the cooler months. Whether you’re cozying up by the fireplace or hosting a gathering with friends, these cookies bring a comforting taste of fall with every bite.
Maple syrup, a quintessential fall ingredient, adds a depth of flavor that’s hard to replicate. Harvested straight from the maple trees during early spring, it carries a natural sweetness with a hint of caramel that pairs perfectly with warm spices like cinnamon. These Frosted Maple Cookies not only showcase the syrup’s unique flavor but are also topped with a smooth, creamy frosting that enhances the maple goodness, making them an irresistible treat for any autumn occasion.
Serve them as a sweet afternoon snack with a cup of hot cider or tea, or add them to your Thanksgiving dessert table for a cozy, homemade touch. They’re easy to make and can be customized with chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra layer of texture and flavor. No matter how you enjoy them, these Frosted Maple Cookies are sure to become a fall favorite!
Using a medium cookie scoop, or a tablespoon measuring spoon, scoop a heaping ball of Frosted Maple Cookie dough and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
Bake Frosted Maple Cookies for 12-15 minutes, until tops no longer look wet and edges are slightly browned. Cool on the sheet for a couple of minutes, then move to a cooling rack.
Add maple extract and milk and continue to mix well until frosting reaches the desired consistency. Pipe frosting or spread with a knife over the cookies.
This cookie has a chewy consistency, not crunchy or cake like at all. It’s a soft chewy bite with a pillowy soft cloud of a semi sweet frosting.
Tips for Making Frosted Maple Cookies
If you like a darker molasses flavor for your cookies, switch out the light brown sugar with dark brown sugar.
It is best to use pure maple syrup in this recipe! You can use pancake syrup, but the flavor will be so much deeper and richer if you use pure maple syrup.
I used maple extract in the frosting to help with the frosting consistency and add a touch of maple flavor to enhance the overall flavor of maple in this recipe.
You can sub out the milk for heavy cream, you may not need as much heavy cream as you would milk, so keep add just bit a little at a time.
When preparing the frosting, if too thick, mix in a small amount of milk or cream. Add small amounts of powdered sugar if too thin.
