Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Add-ins & Coating

  • 2 cups chocolate chunks
  • Additional cinnamon and sugar for rolling and dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then, add the maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is fully combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Fold in the chocolate chunks evenly throughout the dough.
  4. Form Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out balls of dough. Roll each ball in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar to coat the exterior, then place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  5. Bake: Bake the cookies for approximately 12 minutes, or until the edges turn a golden brown while the centers remain soft and slightly underbaked for a chewy texture.
  6. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, which helps them set and prevents breakage. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Dust: Once cooled, sprinkle additional cinnamon and sugar mixture on top of the cookies for an extra burst of churro-inspired flavor and a beautiful finish.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming.
  • Do not overbake to maintain a soft center; cookies will firm up as they cool.
  • You can substitute chocolate chunks with chocolate chips or chunks of your favorite chocolate bar.
  • Maple syrup adds a subtle sweetness and moisture—do not omit or replace with another liquid.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
