In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and syrup. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients until just mixed. In a small dish, mix together the topping sugars.
ADD THE SUGAR TOPPING:
In a small dish, mix together the topping sugars. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, and roll the balls in the sugar mixture. Place the cookie dough balls 2-inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes. The cookies will be crackly on top and look wet in the middle. Remove the cookies from the baking sheets to cool on wire racks.
Notes
*If you cannot find maple sugar, mix ½ cup regular sugar with 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Stir (or whir in a mini processor) until well combined and the clumps are gone.
