These Maple White Chocolate Chip Cookies are my new favorite cookie. The flavor is amazing and the texture is perfection.
I am the number one fan of chocolate chip cookies. They are hands down my favorite cookie, which is evidenced by the number of chocolate chip cookie recipes here on the blog! One of my favorite things to do is create non traditional versions of the chocolate chip cookie. Today’s recipe for maple white chocolate chip cookies is one of them. And, if I do say so myself, they are perfection!
The maple flavoring in the cookie dough gives them just the right amount of maple flavor. I used Mapleine which can be found in the baking aisle, but you can also use Maple Extract. I love the sweetness of the white chocolate chips and the chewiness of this cookie is spot on. Melting the butter helps give the cookie a chewy texture. And the additional of the maple glaze made with real maple syrup takes these cookies over the top!!
I experimented with several different versions of these cookies and finally hit the jackpot with the final version. I quickly packaged them up and delivered them to some friends because I knew I would be in trouble if I didn’t. And I received a text before I even got home from the delivery from my friend saying “beyond perfection.” Yes, these cookies are good and if you are a maple fan, run, don’t walk to make these cookies!
The cookie definitely stands on its own but don’t skip the maple glaze. And be sure and use real maple syrup, not the fake pancake syrup! Be generous with your drizzling too.

I know my family will live these, but I can’t get maple flavoring. Do you think I can use real maple syrup instead and if so how much?
Thanks!! They look delicious!

Maple syrup won’t be as strong a flavor but will work.
Kathryn Missett says
These cookies are delicious! Everyone loves them. I’ve made them quite a few times now over the last few years for family gatherings and treats for co-workers. Everyone always asks for the recipe. The combination of white chocolate and maple although sweet is addicting. Love these cookies.
