Ingredients

The following ingredients have 18 Servings
  • 1/2 cup butter ((slightly softened // 1 stick equals 1/2 cup) )
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour ((plus more as needed))
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter ((softened // 1 stick = 1/2 cup))
  • 1 lb powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tsp maple extract
  • 2-4 Tbsp milk ((or to desired consistency))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C).
  • Cream sugar and butter with mixer; add egg and beat until combined.
  • Add dry ingredients to a sifter. Alternate adding milk and dry ingredients to the butter mixture while mixing. Then add vanilla and stir.
  • Chill for 30 minutes before rolling out. Roll out the dough on a floured surface (adding more flour to the dough if it's too sticky) until it's ~1/8-inch thick. Cut into ~2-inch x 2-inch squares and bake at 375 degrees for 10-11 minutes, being careful not to over-bake.
  • To make the frosting, cream softened butter with 1 cup of the powdered sugar and then slowly add in the rest.
  • Add maple extract (I used greater end of range // 3 tsp as original recipe is written) and milk, and stir. The consistency you’re looking for is thick and spreadable; not runny.
  • Frost cookies, sprinkle with cinnamon and enjoy! Store in an air-tight container at room temperature to keep fresh for at least 3 days.
