Beat in the egg, maple syrup and vanilla until combined.", "In a separate bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon and the salt. Whisk until combined.", "Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two or three batches. Make sure not to over mix.", "Roughly chop 1 cup of the walnut halves and gently stir them into the dough.", "In a small bowl, stir the 1/4 cup of maple sugar, 1/4 cup of white sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon until thoroughly combined.", "Roll heaping tablespoon-sized amounts of dough into balls and the toss to coat them in the maple cinnamon sugar.", "Once the cookies are formed, use the reserved walnut halves and lightly press one walnut half into each cookie.", "Bake the cookies for approximately 12 minutes, rotating and switching the pans halfway through. Remove from the oven and let the cookies set up and cool for 15 minutes directly on the baking sheet.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
