Tips:

  • Use real maple syrup. It provides a richer, more authentic flavor than other sweeteners.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the cookies. This will give you clean, even edges.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before glazing them. This will help the glaze set properly.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
