Preheat oven to 350 F.

Sift all the dry ingredients together in a small bowl.

Beat the oil, maple syrup, and sugar in a large bowl on medium-low speed for 1 minute. Add the egg and beat on medium until light and a little frothy.

Add the remaining wet ingredients to the large bowl and beat until combined

Add the dry ingredients to the wet and beat on low speed until just combined. the dough will be thick and sticky.

Let the dough sit while you line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll 1 tablespoonfuls of dough into a ball between your hands. If you want, you can roll the dough in a bowl of sugar at this stage. Gently flatten the ball slightly on the parchment paper (these cookies won't spread much, so you'll want to press them down some so they aren't just cooked balls of cookie ha).

Bake for 10 minutes on the center rack. Remove and cool for 5 minutes on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to finish cool. Not all cookies will fit on one tray, so I suggest baking in two batches so the cookies can bake evenly in the center of the oven. If you are short on time, it's okay to place two baking sheets in the oven, just move the racks so they are both as close to the middle as possible.

Enjoy!
