Ingredients

  • 170 grams Unsalted butter
  • 100 grams Granulated sugar
  • 75 milliliters Pure maple syrup
  • 5 milliliters Vanilla extract
  • 260 grams All-purpose flour
  • 2 grams Salt
  • 4 grams Baking powder
  • 2 milliliters Maple extract (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter and granulated sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Add the pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and optional maple extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Divide the dough into two portions, shape each into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disk to about 6mm (1/4 inch) thickness. Use a maple leaf-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes, transferring them to the prepared baking sheets with a spatula.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the second dough disk, gathering and re-rolling scraps as needed.

Step 9

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
