CANADIAN MAPLE SHORTBREAD
This is a variation of Shortbread that has a uniquely Canadian flavour! It is much like the Scottish shortbread with it's rich creamery butter flavour combined with Canada's maple syrup. It requires two separate steps: making the maple butter and making the shortbread. It's an easy recipe to make and I hope you enjoy it.

Steps:
- Maple butter: In a small saucepan, bring the maple syrup to a boil and reduce by half (this should take about 15 minutes) Remove from heat and let it stand at room temp.
- When it is cool, add the butter and stir or gently whisk until well blended.
- Place in frigde until firm.
- This makes about 3/4 cup.
- Shortbread: In a food processor or blender, combine the maple butter, flour and salt.
- Use the pulse setting to combine well the ingredients.
- Take it out of the blender/food processor and shape it into a ball.
- Flatten it to a disc shape.
- Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until well chilled.
- Preheat oven to 350F and position rack to centre of oven.
- Remove dough from the fridge and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Cut dough into desired shapes (I use a maple leaf shaped cookie cutter... very Canadian, eh?) Place cookies on ungreased cookie sheet and bake until slightly golden brown (about 10-15 min, depending on your oven).
