Slowly mix in dry ingredients until fully incorporated. If desired, chill dough for 30-40 minutes.
Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, scoop dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto ungreased baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
Place baking sheet in oven and bake for 10-11 minutes, or until edges are just lightly browned.
For the glaze, if using: whisk together powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl, then mix in maple syrup and whisk until smooth. Whisk in milk if necessary.
Pour over cooled cookies and let set.
