Step by step instructions
Here is how to make and bake these maple oatmeal cookies. You will need two trays lined with parchment paper, three mixing bowls, a spatula, a whisk, and a standard ice cream scoop.

Step 2 – Mix dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, add in all-purpose flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3 – Mix wet ingredients. In a medium bowl, add in butter and brown sugar. Whisk together.
Step 4 – Mix in egg and maple syrup. Add in the egg and whisk well. Then add in the maple syrup and continue whisking until smooth.
Step 5 – Add in dry ingredients. Mix until a soft cookie dough forms. Don’t overmix!
Step 6 – Scoop and bake. Scoop the cookies onto the prepared baking tray, placing them 3-4 inches apart from each other. Bake 6 cookies at a time for 10-13 minutes or until the middle has set.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the fridge for a week. You can also freeze the cookies and thaw in the microwave when wanted.
Expert Baking Tips
Here are a few baking tips from my kitchen to yours
- Don’t over mix the dough once the dry ingredients are added. If you over mix, the dough will appear more dry and tough.
- Use pure maple syrup if you can. Table syrup have a lot of added sugars and other things that will alter the results.
- Room temperature ingredients. This is so important for you baked goods to turn out well!
- Make sure the flour is spooned and leveled properly. If you stick the measuring cup into the flour, this will compact it. A scale will give you the most accurate measurements.
