Why You’ll Love These White Chocolate Dipped Chewy Maple Cookies

They’re soft, chewy, and full of that cozy maple sweetness. The white chocolate adds a creamy finish without overpowering the maple, creating a balanced, elegant flavor profile. Plus, they’re freezer-friendly, making them a great make-ahead option for busy seasons. Their gorgeous dipped edge makes them stand out on a dessert tray too.

What Kind of Maple Syrup Should I Use?

Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor. Grade A Dark or Amber offers a robust maple taste that really shines through the cookie dough. Avoid artificial pancake syrups—they often contain corn syrup and flavorings that won’t give the same rich depth. If you only have lighter maple syrup, it still works, just expect a subtler taste.

How To Make the White Chocolate Dipped Chewy Maple Cookies

Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugars

Start by beating softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy. This builds the base of the chewy texture.

Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients

Mix in the egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined. The batter may look silky and smell amazing already.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly add this to the wet mixture, mixing just until the dough forms.

Step 4: Chill the Dough

Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. This step helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much and enhances the flavor.

Step 5: Bake

Scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F for about 10–12 minutes or until edges are set and centers look just slightly underdone. Let them cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 6: Dip in White Chocolate

Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth. Dip half of each cooled cookie and place on parchment paper to set.

Storing and Serving These Cookies

These cookies feed about 18 people if you make them medium-sized. You can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them before dipping or after—just separate layers with parchment paper.

They’re lovely served slightly warm for that fresh-baked chewiness or chilled for a firmer bite. Perfect for cookie trays, lunchbox surprises, or cozy evenings with tea.
