Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.
Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and maple syrup to the creamed mixture, beating until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the white chocolate chips and optional pecans gently until evenly distributed.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are slightly soft.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Cookies may contain variations such as chopped nuts or different types of chocolate. Store in an airtight container for freshness.
