Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  2. Combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat until light and fluffy, then mix in the egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  3. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and any optional nuts.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Scoop rounded balls of dough onto your baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
