### Instructions
1. **Preheat oven:**
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. **Cream butter and sugar:**
In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla, and mix until combined.
3. **Mix dry ingredients:**
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
4. **Shape and bake:**
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with your fingers or the bottom of a glass.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
5. **Make the glaze:**
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and maple syrup. Add milk a little at a time until desired consistency is reached — thick but pourable.
6. **Glaze the cookies:**
Once cookies are completely cool, drizzle or spread the glaze on top. Let the glaze set before storing or serving.

### Tips & Variations
– **Add crunch:** Mix chopped toasted pecans into the dough for texture.
– **Spice it up:** A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg in the dough adds a cozy, spiced twist.
– **Glaze alternatives:** Add a splash of vanilla or a dusting of cinnamon to the glaze for extra depth.
