- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or with hand mixer and large bowl cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until fluffy. About 1-2 minutes.

- Once cookies are cooled, make the icing. In a microwave safe small bowl, melt the butter and maple syrup together. Whisk in the powdered sugar and tiny pinch of salt.
- Use the whisk, a spoon, or piping bag and drizzle the glaze over the cookies. You could also frost or dip the tops of the cookies if you like that better.
