These chewy French toast cookies combine the warm flavors of cinnamon, maple, and vanilla into a soft, handheld breakfast treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (65g) rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer or whisk until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and cream cheese (if using) until smooth and fully combined.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoon-sized spoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Use softened, not melted butter for best texture. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender. Watch baking time closely to maintain chewiness. For gluten-free, substitute flour with a gluten-free blend containing xanthan gum. Cream cheese is optional but adds moisture and tenderness. Dough can be chilled for 15 minutes before baking to control spread.
