Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 stick unsalted butter at room temperature (114 grams)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup 60 grams
  • ½ cup granulated sugar 96 grams
  • ¾ cup firmly packed light brown sugar 160 grams
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour 202 grams
  • 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats 240 grams
  • 1 ½ cups dried cranberries
  • 1 cup toasted and chopped walnuts or pecans

Maple Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 4 to 5 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • Pinch of salt
  • tiny bit of maple flavoring optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line a couple of cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Beat the butter, syrup, and both sugars with an electric mixer. Add the eggs and beat on medium just until combined. Stir in the soda and salt, scraping sides of bowl well, then stir the flour in by hand. Stir in the oats, cranberries and nuts. At this point, you can chill the dough or move directly to baking.
  • Shape dough into balls a little larger than a golf ball. Arrange on parchment lined cookie sheets spacing 2 ½ inches apart and bake on center rack for 10-15 minutes or until cookies appear brown around the edges.
  • Let cool on a wire rack. Whisk or beat together the glaze ingredients and drizzle over cooled cookies.
