APPLE SPICE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Place the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until combined, about 2 minutes. Add the maple syrup, vanilla and egg. Beat on medium speed until homogenous, about 1 minute more.
• Whisk together the flour, apple pie spice, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Pour half of the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and beat on low speed until combined. Repeat with the remaining dry ingredients until a loose, wet dough comes together. Allow the dough to rest for about 10 minutes in the refrigerator; it will thicken slightly as the flour becomes hydrated.

• Bake the cookies until deeply golden brown, about 15 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through the baking time. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
