                    These are great to bake in the fall, but they are delicious anytime. I use a maple leaf cutter. Prep time includes 2 hours chill time. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 cup butter, softened  |  
                                                2/3 cup sugar  |  
                                                1/2 cup maple syrup  |  
                                                1/3 cup milk  |  
                                                3 1/2 cups flour  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon baking soda  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon ground ginger  |  
                                                3 tablespoons pure maple syrup  |  
                                                1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In medium pan, combine butter, sugar and syrup. Bring to a boil, then immediately remove from heat and cool to room temperature. 2. Add milk. 3. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. 4. Add cooled syrup mix; mix well to combine. 5. Divide dough in half; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours. 6. Roll on lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. 7. Cut with maple leaf cutters. 8. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 375°F for 8-10 minutes or until golden. (Do not overbake.). 9. Immediately remove cookies to wire rack. 10. Combine glaze ingredients well; brush cookies with glaze immediately. 11. Cool completely.                              |
