Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, chilled and thinly sliced
• ½ cup maple syrup, divided
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon maple flavoring

Directions

• In a large mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, cinnamon, and butter.
• Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed until the dough begins to form pea-sized balls.
• Add ¼ cup maple syrup, egg, and maple flavoring and mix again just until combined and dough can be formed into a ball.
• Chill dough for 30 minutes to an hour.
• Roll chilled dough in small balls (about an inch to an inch-and-a-half). Drop in a mixture of 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and roll the cookie ball until fully coated in sugar.
• Place 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Make a criss cross pattern on the cookies with a fork to flatten them.
• Lightly brush the cookies with the remaining maple syrup using a pastry brush.
• Bake at 325° for about 13-17 minutes.
