These little maple balls are so buttery, they just melt in your mouth! Better make a double recipe of the delicious cookies, cause your going to need lots! If you don't have any maple extract on hand, just use 2 tsp vanilla instead, it just won't have the maple flavouring, but they are still great.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened (no substitutions)
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons maple extract
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups finely chopped walnuts
powdered sugar, for rolling
Directions:
1. Set oven to 375 degrees.
2. Prepare an ungreased cookie sheet.
3. Cream butter, sugar and maple extract until fluffy.
4. Sift together flour and salt.
5. Add to the creamed mixture; mix well.
6. Stir in walnuts.
7. Shape dough into 1-inch balls.
8. Place on cookie sheet.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
