Easy Maple Cookies with Maple Icing

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is an important first step to ensure your cookies bake evenly.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and maple syrup until smooth. The blending will create a uniform mixture that truly incorporates the delightful flavors of maple.

3. Gradually blend in the flour until well combined. Take your time here; thorough mixing is crucial for achieving that terrific texture.

4. Roll the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps in easy removal after baking and maintains the delightful look of the cookies.

5. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass. This will help the cookies spread evenly while baking and gives them a classic cookie shape.

6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them toward the end to avoid overbaking; you want them soft yet firm.

7. While the cookies are baking, prepare the maple icing by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Aim for a consistency that’s thick yet pourable for an ideal drizzle.

8. Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle or spread the icing on top and allow to set before serving. The icing not only adds sweetness but also offers a beautiful presentation.
