📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cookies:

Dry ingredients
3
In a food processor, pulse the oats several times, until broken down but not powdery. Add flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt and pulse a few more times until combined.
4
Wet ingredients
5
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment., beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated until creamy and combined. Add egg, syrup, and extract and beat until combined, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. Add the dry ingredients and pecans (if using) and beat until fully combined. Transfer the bowl to the refrigerator to chill for ⏱️ 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°F with a rack in the upper third and lower third of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Scoop

Following the ⏱️ 30 minute chill time, scoop the dough into 1½ tablespoon balls (I use a cookie scoop) and place a couple inches apart on the baking sheet. If you'd like your cookies on the thinner side you can flatten the dough balls just a bit to encourage spreading (see more in the notes).

Bake for ⏱️ 9-11 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still underdone (the cookies will still be fairly light). Place the baking sheets on wire racks and allow the cookies to cool completely, they will firm up as they cool.

Place the butter in a saucepan set over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned bits form on the bottom of the pan and the butter begins to turn golden and smell nutty. Immediately transfer into a bowl along with any accumulated brown bits. Cool for about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Whisk in powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon syrup, 1 tablespoon milk, and maple extract. Whisk vigorously, until smooth and combined. Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar to thicken or more milk to thin. Drizzle or spread the icing onto the cooled cookies. Allow the icing to firm up a bit before serving.
