- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Icing:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare baking sheets: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

- Prepare the icing: Whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Ice the cookies: Drizzle or spread the icing over the cooled cookies and allow it to set before serving.
