Ingredients

The following ingredients have 18 Servings
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 cup salted butter, ( chilled and thinly sliced (2 sticks))
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (divided)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon maple flavoring

Instruction

  • In a large mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, cinnamon, and butter.
  • Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed until the dough begins to form pea-sized balls.
  • Add 1/4 cup maple syrup, egg, and maple flavoring and mix again just until combined and dough can be formed into a ball.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Roll chilled dough in small balls (about an inch to an inch-and-a-half). Drop in a mixture of 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and roll the cookie ball until fully coated in sugar.
  • Place 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Make a criss cross pattern on the cookies with a fork to flatten them.
  • Lightly brush the cookies with the remaining maple syrup using a pastry brush.
  • Bake at 325° for about 13-17 minutes.
