How to prepare Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies
Making Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies is simple and fun! Follow these easy steps to create a batch of delicious cookies that will have everyone asking for the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 batch Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies by Cooking with Carlee
- White chocolate melting wafers
- Holly berry sprinkles
- Food scale
- Light colored baking sheets
Steps:
- Prepare the maple cinnamon cookie dough and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes. This helps the flavors develop and keeps your cookies from spreading too much when baking.
- Portion the dough into desired size dough balls. I use a food scale and measure 1.5 oz dough balls to have perfectly uniform cookies.
- Bake the cookies and allow them to fully cool before decorating. This step is important, as warm cookies can spoil the chocolate melting process.
- Melt the white chocolate of choice in a microwave-safe bowl. Keep your microwave at half power to prevent overheating the chocolate. I use white chocolate Ghirardelli melting wafers for the best taste.
- Next, dip half of your cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate and lay it down on wax or parchment paper to dry. Repeat for all cookies.
- Let the chocolate-dipped portion set and harden. You can speed up this process by placing them in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
- Pour additional melted white chocolate into a piping bag (my preference because it is more sturdy) or a ziplock bag and cut a small tip off of the corner of the bag.
- Drizzle the chocolate over the dipped portion for a lovely finishing touch.
- Place holly berry sprinkles on the corner before the drizzle sets and firms up. Enjoy!

Tips to make Chewy Maple Cinnamon Cookies perfectly
- Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately for the best results.

- Don’t skip the cooling time after baking; it’s key to keeping the cookies chewy.

Variations
Feel free to customize your cookies! You can add nuts, dried fruits, or even swap the white chocolate for dark chocolate if you prefer a little less sweetness. You could also add a pinch of nuts or experiment with different sprinkles to match the season.
FAQ
1. Can I use regular chocolate instead of white chocolate?
Yes, you can use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate. It will totally change the flavor profile but can still be delicious!
2. How do I make my cookies more chewy?
To achieve a chewier texture, ensure you don’t overbake the cookies. Also, using brown sugar or adding an extra egg yolk can help with chewiness.
3. Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely! Just double all the ingredients and follow the same steps. Make sure to bake them in batches if your oven can’t fit all the cookie sheets at once.
