Ingredients
Cookies
- 1 stick unsalted butter, cut into chunks and softened (114 grams)
- ¼ cup maple syrup (60 grams)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, very firmly packed (160 grams)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour (200 grams)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats (240 grams)
- 1 ½ cups dried cranberries (you can use less)
- 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
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 tiny drop of maple flavoring optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line a couple of cookie sheets with parchment paper. If you plan on chilling the dough, hold off on this step.
- Beat the butter, syrup, and both sugars with an electric mixer. Add the eggs and beat on medium just until combined.
- Mix together the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder, then add to the batter and stir until fully mixed. 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 or use a medium size cookie scoop. 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.
