Ingredients

Scale

½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
6 tablespoons packed brown sugar
½ cup pure maple syrup
1 large egg, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 â…› cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour (with xanthan gum)
¾ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted (optional)

Instructions

Cream together the softened butter and packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the chopped pecans.
Cover the dough and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality pure maple syrup. Toasting the pecans before adding them will enhance their flavor. Ensure your gluten-free flour blend contains xanthan gum. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
