Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Chewy French Toast Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the large egg yolk, light corn syrup, pure vanilla extract, and maple extract to the creamed mixture and mix on low speed until incorporated, about 1 minute.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  6. Form the dough into 1.5-inch balls and roll each in granulated sugar.
  7. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each one, and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers are soft.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
