I got this recipe from my great grandmother years ago before she passed on. We make these a lot in the fall as the maple flavor reminds us of the leaves falling. We also add finely chopped pecans to give it a little crunch. Prep time does not include chill time. Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar |
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
1 cup butter, softened |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 egg |
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon maple extract |
Directions:
1. In large bowl combine sugars and butter; beat until light and fluffy.
2. Add vanilla and egg; blend well.
3. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off.
4. Stir in flour until well blended.
5. Divide dough into thirds; cover with plastic wraps.
6. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
7. In medium bowl, combine cookie dough and maple extract, blend well.
8. Shape mixture into 1 ; place 2 apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
9. With glass dipped in sugar, flatten to about 1/4 thickness.
10. Bake for 6-9 minutes.
11. Cook cookies 1 minute before removing from cookie sheet.
12. VARIATION: To make as cut out cookies.
13. Chill dough in refrigerator for 15 minutes to harden and then roll out on lightly floured board.
14. Roll out to 1/4 thickness and cut cookies accordingly.
15. Bake for 6 to 9 minutes.
