These maple cookies are a baker's dream. They're a bit different from the norm but, oh, so easy to love!
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon maple flavoring
- 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups white baking chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- MAPLE GLAZE:
- 1/3 cup butter, cubed
- 1-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon maple flavoring
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs and maple flavoring. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in baking chips and pecans.
- Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on pans 2 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

- Drizzle over cookies; let dry completely. Store between pieces of waxed paper in airtight containers.

I created this recipe after tasting maple cookies with a maple glaze at a bakery in Stowe, Vermont, some years ago. I get many requests to bring them for bake sales, parties and ski trips. —Delores Day, Wolcott, Vermont
