Helpful Tips!
- Make sure the butter is soft but not melted. If it’s too hard, leave it out of the fridge for about 30 minutes before starting. Always remember that.
- Pure maple syrup gives the best flavor. Avoid pancake syrup, as it doesn’t taste the same.
- Always preheat the oven so the cookies bake well and don’t spread too much.
- Always Leave enough space between each cookie (about 2 inches).
How to Store Leftovers?
Put leftover cookies in a tight container so they stay fresh for 6 days. To keep them soft, add a slice of bread to the container, it helps them not dry out. If you want to save them longer, put the cookies in a freezer bag and freeze them for up to 1 month.

My kid loves these Maple Syrup Chocolate Chip Cookies with a tall glass of cold milk, for me a warm cup of coffee, or a sweet Raspberry Cream Soda for a fruity is good for me. For dessert lovers, try serving them with caramel sauce for some extra sweetness.
