Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 tbsp flaxseed with 1.50 tbsp water.
- Stir well and let sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens. This will act as your egg substitute.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1/2 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the thickened flaxseed mixture, 1/2 cup maple syrup, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of whole-grain wheat flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
4. Shape the Cookies:
- Place 1/4 cup of granulated sugar into a small bowl.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, shape the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Roll each ball in the sugar to coat, then place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/8 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup soy milk.
- Stir continuously until the sugars are completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and allow the icing to cool slightly. If the icing thickens too much, add a tiny bit more soy milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle or spread a small amount of maple icing over each cookie.
- Allow the icing to set before serving.
- Enjoy your delicious maple cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!

Maple cookies FAQ:
Bake the maple cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes. They are done when the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe container for up to three months.
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour for the whole-grain wheat flour in this recipe. The texture may be slightly different, but the cookies will still taste delicious.
Look for golden brown edges and a slightly set center. The cookies will firm up as they cool, so it's okay if they look a little soft when you first take them out.
If you don't have maple syrup, you can use honey or agave syrup as a substitute for the glaze. Keep in mind that the flavor will change slightly depending on your choice.
Cooking Tips:
- For a more pronounced maple flavor, use pure maple syrup instead of artificial maple flavoring.
- Make sure to let the flaxseed and water mixture sit for a few minutes to properly thicken before using it as an egg substitute.
- Chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking can help the cookies hold their shape better.
- If you prefer a softer cookie, slightly underbake them by 1-2 minutes; for a crispier cookie, bake a few minutes longer.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for several days.
