MAPLE LEAF SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Measure 3 cups of sifted flour and salt into sifter.
• Set aside. (I put the sifter on the flour tin lid, so I won't loose the flour that comes through before I sift into the other ingredients.).
• Beat softened butter and the two sugars until light and creamy. (medium high speed on electric mixer).
• Reduce speed and add egg yolk until well blended.
• Add 1/2 cup maple syrup and mix until blended.
• Remove beaters and now use a wooden spoon.
• Slowly sift flour into bowl mixing with wooden spoon, until just well blended.
• Divide dough into thirds and make each 1/3 into a flat disc.
• Place on sheets of floured wax paper, with well floured hands.
• Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight to thoroughly chill dough.
• Take discs from refrigerator and roll out to 1/8" to 1/4" thickness, and put in freezer to firm for about 15 minutes. (this makes it easier to handle the cut cookies).
• Preheat oven to 325°.
• Line cookie sheets with foil and spray lightly with vegetable cooking spray.
• Cut cookies from chilled dough and bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness of cookie.
• Move cookies to wire rack and brush with maple syrup (this is the other 1/2 cup of syrup) and sprinkle with sanding sugar. (I use red, yellow, and green sanding sugars, although the white is lovely too.).

Add the baking powder, flour and pecans. Mix until all ingredients are well combined. Take dough out of the bowl and place on a well floured counter top. Lightly flour the top of the dough and roll with a rolling pin until dough is ¼ inch thick. Using a 2 ½ inch round cookie cutter, cut out cookies and place in four rows with 3 cookies per row. Leave at least 1-inch space in between cookies. Place cookies in oven and bake for 9-10 minutes or until golden on the sides. Let cookies sit for 5 minutes then transfer to cooling rack, to finish cooling. Continue with the remaining dough. Remaining dough can be mixed together and rolled one more time. (The same cookie sheet and parchment paper can be reused.)
• 3. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar and maple flavoring. Mix until well blended. Spread evenly to the top of the cooled cookie. Evenly sprinkle the pecan/white chip topping to the top of each cookie. Cookies are ready to serve.
