Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar. Add the egg, syrup, and vanilla extract. Continue to mix until well blended.
- In another large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir this mixture into the butter mixture until well combined.
- Place granulated sugar in a shallow bowl or plate. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls (I like to use a #50 scoop) and roll in the sugar to coat. Place on cookie sheets about 2 inches apart and flatten slightly.
- Bake the cookies until they start to get lightly golden around the outer edges, about 8 to 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet, then gently transfer to a wire rack to cool.
