Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. Let cool completely.
- Make glaze: For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Glaze cookies: Drizzle or spread the glaze over the cooled cookies. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
