Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)

1 1/2 cups pure maple syrup
2 large egg yolks

Tips:

  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cookies spread evenly and rise properly.
  • If you don't have maple extract, you can substitute vanilla extract.
  • To make the glaze, you can use either maple syrup or pancake syrup. If you use pancake syrup, it may be necessary to add a little bit of water to thin it out.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. If you insert a toothpick into the center of a cookie, it should come out clean.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before glazing them.

Conclusion:

Glazed Maple Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy, with a sweet and maple-y flavor. The glaze adds a nice finishing touch and makes the cookies even more irresistible. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
