Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and molasses; mix until incorporated.

Add flour, baking soda, salt, and ginger. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Scoop into small balls and roll in sugar. Bake for 9-11 minutes; remove from pan to allow cookies to sink and flatten as they cool.

Whisk maple glaze ingredients together until smooth. If too thick, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until dippable.

Dip one side of the cooled cookies into the maple glaze, run the edge of the cookie along the side of the bowl to remove excess drips, set on wax paper, and add festive sprinkles before the glaze sets.
