Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and brown sugar, then beat on medium speed until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then pour in the maple syrup and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, then gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.

Scoop rounded balls of dough onto the baking sheets, leaving about two inches between each.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are soft.

Let the cookies rest on the sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool.
