Step 1

Mix the dry stuff: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside like it’s a toddler in time-out.

Step 2

Cream the butter + sugars: Beat the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy—like “if clouds were made of carbs."

Step 3

Add the wet stuff: Mix in the egg, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.

Step 4

Combine: Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Don’t over-do it; cookies get tough faster than a mom at bedtime.

Step 5

Chill (yes, you actually have to): Pop the dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Overnight is even better.

Step 6

Roll + coat: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls, roll them, then coat generously in your cinnamon-sugar mix.

Step 7

Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9–11 minutes. They should look slightly underdone in the centre; that’s the secret to the chew.

Step 8

Cool: Let them sit on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring off. They finish cooking as they cool.
