Maple Glazed Cinnamon Sugar Cookies (Eggless)

If you’re looking for a cookie that’s soft, chewy, and full of cozy flavor, these Maple Glazed Cinnamon Sugar Cookies are it. Rolled in cinnamon sugar and finished with a sweet maple glaze, they’re a perfect balance of warmth and indulgence. Best of all, they’re eggless and made with a simple flaxseed substitute, so everyone can enjoy them.

Prep & Bake Time

Prep time: 15 minutes (plus 30 minutes chill time)
Bake time: 12 minutes
Total time: ~55 minutes

Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough:

1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
1/2 (110g) cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 (180g) cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (200g) brown sugar,
4 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Maple Glaze:

2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 cup powdered sugar, as needed

Instructions

Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add wet ingredients: Mix in the flax egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Chill the dough: Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. This helps the cookies hold their shape.
Preheat oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Shape and coat: Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll into balls. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the coating, then roll each dough ball until fully coated.
Bake: Place the coated dough balls on the baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
Cool: Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Make the glaze: Whisk the maple syrup and powdered sugar until smooth and slightly thick. Adjust with more sugar if needed.
Glaze cookies: Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the tops. Let set before serving.
