- 1½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup (½ stick) salted butter, (softened)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ tablespoon nonfat milk ((or more if you'd like it thinner))
- 2 teaspoons salted butter, (softened)
- ½ cup finely chopped walnuts, (toasted)
Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and next 6 ingredients (through cloves).
Use an electric mixer to combine the brown sugar and ¼ cup butter in a large bowl; beat at high speed until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes). Add 2 tablespoons syrup and egg; beat until well blended. Beating at low speed, gradually add the flour mixture; beat just until combined.
Spoon the batter evenly into 30 mounds (about 1 tablespoon), 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper or a silpat mat (or lightly grease baking sheets). Bake for 14 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on pans 5 minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely on wire racks.
In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons syrup, milk, and 2 teaspoons butter, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Add ½ tablespoon more milk if a thinner consistency is desired.
Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled cookies. Working quickly, sprinkle the cookies with nuts.
