Glazed Maple Shortbread Cookies image

Whenever I visit friends in Lutsen, Minnesota, I make sure to buy maple syrup there because I think it's even better than in Quebec. These delicious cookies can be decorated with sprinkles but they're just fine as is.-Lorraine Caland, Shuniah, Ontario

These cookies are a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more flour next time.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of maple syrup next time.

These cookies are the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The maple glaze adds a touch of sweetness, while the shortbread cookie itself is slightly salty. They're a great snack or dessert.
