Maple Cookies

I find the taste of maple syrup comforting. Its caramel sweetness and amber tone are like being wrapped up in a blanket with your loved one or sitting in front of a warm fire.

Maple syrup is just so much of what’s right with the world! Placing it in a cookie can only make it more so. The cookie brings out maple syrup’s sweet natural flavor and pairs it with the velvety taste of brown sugar and the bittersweet bite of fresh walnuts.

Maple Cookies Recipe

Be sure to use Grade B maple syrup (Grade B syrup is made late in the season and therefore has a darker, richer, more mapley flavor than Grade A) if you can for this recipe as it will stand up to the brown sugar and to baking. If all you have is Grade A then that's fine too.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 cup of dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon of maple syrup (Grade B preferably)
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 3/4 cup of chopped walnuts
