3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Chewy Maple Cookies with White Chocolate

Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and maple syrup until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until the dough forms.

Shape the Cookies

Using a cookie scoop or your hands, portion the dough into small balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Lightly flatten each ball for an even bake.

Bake the Chewy Maple Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft and chewy. Allow them to cool on a wire rack.

Prepare the White Chocolate Dip

While the cookies cool, melt the Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker or any preferred method to melt the white chocolate chips. Stir until smooth.

Dip the Cookies in White Chocolate

Once cooled, dip each cookie halfway or fully into the melted white chocolate. Place on a sheet of parchment paper and add festive sprinkles if desired. Let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate briefly.

4. Storage Tips for Freshness and Texture

Store these holiday cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. To maintain the chewy texture, let the cookies sit at room temperature before serving.
