This recipe is from Puget Consumer Co-op. I haven't tried it, but it sounds wonderful! Be sure to use Grade B maple syrup, as it a rich, maple flavor. Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature |
1 cup granulated sugar |
1 large egg yolk |
1/2 cup maple syrup |
3 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg or 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or 1/4 teaspoon allspice or 1/4 teaspoon ginger |
1 teaspoon salt (or 1/2 teaspoon salt if using salted butter) |
Directions:
1. Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
2. While still mixing, add the egg yolk.
3. While still mixing, slowly drizzle in the maple syrup.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, spice/s, and salt. You can use whatever combination of spices sounds good to you, or none at all for a pure maple flavor.
5. Add butter mixture and mix until just combined. The dough will be in loose clumps.
6. Gather the dough in a large ball, cover in plastic wrap and chill dough for at least two hours.
7. Preheat the oven to 350°F Line a few baking sheets with parchment paper.
8. On a floured surface, roll out half the dough to 1/8-inch thickness and cut into desired shapes. Repeat with remaining dough by pushing the scraps back together and re-rolling them out.
9. Arrange cookies on baking sheets and bake for 8 to 11 minutes each, or until lightly golden at the edges.
10. Transfer to racks to cool. Cookies will keep in an airtight container for 1 week.
