Start by preheating the oven to 350F. If the butter is cold, take it out of the fridge and heat slightly until the butter is softened, but not melted.
Mix together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add the vanilla, butter, and eggs and mix well.
Place the cookie dough in the fridge for 15 minutes or the freezer for 5 minutes to cool the cookie dough.
Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper and use a small ice cream scoop to scoop uniform cookies. Place the scooped cookie dough on the cookie sheet and space evenly.
Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, depending on how cold the dough is when you bake.
When the cookies are slightly golden brown around the edges, remove from the oven and transfer to a cooking rack.
Begin making the vanilla male glaze. Mix powdered sugar, vanilla, and maple syrup until all of the ingredients are well incorporated and there are no chunks of sugar.
Once the cookies are fully cooled, drizzle the glaze over the cookies. This recipe yields 24 cookies.
