Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Whisk together melted unsalted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, and maple extract until smooth, then stir in the egg.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate into wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
  3. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes to meld flavors and maintain chewiness.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Scoop chilled dough into 1.5-ounce balls and place on the baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and centers are puffy. Cool on sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
  7. Melt white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  8. Dip half of each cookie into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip. Place on parchment and sprinkle with holly berries if desired.
  9. Let dipped cookies set until chocolate hardens, then serve or store.
