Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the maple extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. Stir in nuts, if using.
  6. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are still slightly soft.
  8. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra chewy cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
