Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease baking sheets or line them with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Mixing the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening and brown sugar until fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

  3. Incorporating Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg, followed by the pure maple syrup and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

  4. Combining Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

  5. Adding Optional Ingredient: If desired, stir in the shredded coconut at this stage for added texture and flavor.

  6. Forming the Cookies: Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart. The cookies will spread during baking.

  7. Baking: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies start to brown lightly. For chewier cookies, remove them from the oven as soon as they begin to brown.

  8. Cooling and Enjoying: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy these chewy maple cookies warm or at room temperature!

Tips for Success

  • Maple Syrup: Opt for pure maple syrup for the best flavor. Avoid using maple-flavored syrups, as they may not impart the same depth of taste.

  • Cookie Texture: To ensure chewiness, avoid overbaking the cookies. They should be slightly soft when taken out of the oven and will firm up as they cool.

  • Storage: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They can also be frozen for longer storage, though they are best enjoyed fresh.
