Yield Makes about 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup Grade B maple syrup (or Grade A maple syrup flavored with 3 drops maple extract, or to taste)
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a standing electric mixer cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy and beat in maple syrup and egg yolk until mixture is combined well. Sift together salt and flour over mixture and fold in thoroughly. Chill dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, about 2 hours. Dough may be made 4 days ahead and chilled.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Divide dough in half. Keeping one half chilled, lightly flour other half and on a lightly floured surface gently pound with a rolling pin to soften. Roll out dough 1/8 inch thick and with a 3-inch floured maple-leaf cookie cutter cut out cookies, chilling scraps. Arrange cookies on buttered baking sheets and if desired, with back of a knife, mark cookies decoratively. Make more cookies in same manner with remaining dough and with all the scraps pressed together.
  • Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven until edges are golden, about 12 minutes, and transfer to racks to cool. Cookies keep in airtight containers 1 week.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

I'm not a huge fan of maple, but I still enjoyed these cookies. They're not too sweet and have a nice crispy texture.

I love the maple flavor in these cookies. It's not too overpowering, but it's definitely there.

I used a different maple syrup than the one suggested in the recipe, and the cookies still turned out great.

I made these cookies for my Canadian friend and she said they were the best she's ever had.

I love that this recipe uses real maple syrup instead of artificial flavoring. It really makes a difference in the taste.

I've tried many maple leaf cookie recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are crispy on the edges and soft and chewy in the center, with a perfect balance of maple flavor.
