Iced Maple Syrup Cookies

Every time we go to visit our kids and grandkids I take cookies. I have been doing this for years. This trip I am taking Iced Maple Syrup Cookies as well as other ones!

The grandkids always want the same cookies Martha Stewarts Chocolate Chip Cookies & Lemon Sprinkle Cookies ( I leave out the lemon for them & they are just as good!). I also take kamish sometimes Goldies Kamish and various other cookies. This time I wanted to bring something new so I thought Iced Maple Syrup Cookies might be a great idea!

I looked up recipes & found this one from Sally’s Baking Addiction. Maple Brown Sugar Cookies The recipe adds walnuts which I omitted as well as the maple flavored extract. My cookies have a delicious maple flavor.

These Iced Maple Syrup Cookies & delish!

Make sure you use pure maple syrup and not pancake syrup for this recipe!!

Here is the recipe

Ingredients

Cookie

1/2 cup softened butter, I use salted butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1/3 cup maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 1/3 cup flour

1 tsp baking soda

Icing

2 tbsp butter

1/3 cup maple syrup

1 cup icing sugar

Method

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper

Do not preheat your oven now, this dough has to chill so you will preheat the oven after

1. In the bowl of mixer, or use a hand mixer, cream the butter & brown sugar
2. Add the egg, mix well until completly combined
3. Pour in the maple syrup & vanilla extract, mix
4. Combine the flour & baking soda giving it a quick whisk to evenly distribute the baking soda in the flour
5. Spoon the flour/bakoing soda into the mixing bowl & mix until all of the dry ingredients are incorporated into the wet ingredients. Scrape down the sides & bottom of the bowl as needed. When the dough has come together & s smotthe remove the bowl. Cover & chill in the refrigerator for 20-3- minutes
6. Now, preheat your oven to 350f & you can prepare the baking sheets
7. When the dough has been chilled, spin it onto the prepared baking sheets. I used a 2 tbsp cookie scoop. Love room between cookie balls to allow for spread
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes . The time depends on your oven etc so check after 10 minutes.
9. When done remove the cookies to a cooling rack to cool

Make the Icing

1. Using a saucepan, melt the butter in the maple syrup giving it a stir. When the butter is melted, add the icing sugar & mix to combine.
2. Drizzle over the cooler cookies but do it quickly! I found hat this icing stiffened up fast & I actually put the saucepan on the heat again to gently soften to up!
3. The icing hardens on the cookie after about an hour or so

Enjoy!
