Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 8 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light-brown sugar
1 large egg yolk
3/4 cup maple syrup (preferably grade A)
Vegetable oil cooking spray
1/3 cup sanding sugar

Steps:

  • Sift flour and salt into a medium bowl. Beat butter and granulated and brown sugars with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and creamy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low, and add yolk, then 1/2 cup maple syrup, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture, and beat until just incorporated. Shape into 2 disks, wrap each in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 2 days).
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll out 1 disk of dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a sheet of lightly floured parchment. Place parchment with dough on baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Coat baking sheets with cooking spray, line with parchment, and coat parchment. Cut out cookies from frozen dough using a 3 1/2-inch maple-leaf-shaped cutter, and space 1 inch apart on sheets. Roll and cut scraps once. Freeze cookies until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Bake cookies until edges begin to turn golden, 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer parchment with cookies to wire racks, and let cool for 5 minutes. Brush cookies with 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and sprinkle with 1/2 the sanding sugar. Let cool. Repeat with remaining dough, maple syrup, and sugar. (Cookies will keep for up to 2 days.)

2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
Dash salt

Tips:

  • Use high-quality maple syrup: The quality of the maple syrup you use will greatly impact the flavor of your cookies. Look for pure maple syrup that is Grade A or higher.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to create a smooth and even batter.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before glazing: This will help to prevent the glaze from running off the cookies.

Conclusion:

Canadian maple cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their soft and chewy texture and sweet maple flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special cookie to bake, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
