Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 whole Large egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended.

Add the large egg to the wet mixture and whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your lighter maple chocolate chip cookies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
