Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butter-flavored shortening
• ¾ cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon maple extract
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1½ cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon maple extract
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375F (180C), and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt - set aside.
• In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the shortening and sugar until combined and fluffy - about 1 minute.
• Add the egg, maple and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.
• Add the flour mixture in ½ cup increments, mixing to combine and scraping sides when necessary.
• Using a small cookie scoop, form dough into balls and place on cookie sheet about an inch or so apart.
• Bake cookies for 8 - 10 minutes or until cookies have spread and dough is set. Remove from oven and allow the cookies to rest for several minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Allow cookies to cool completely before icing.
• For the icing:
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the frosting ingredients until smooth. (Add more water or powdered sugar to reach desired consistency, if necessary)
• Using the back of a spoon, spread a thin layer of icing onto each cookie.
