Maple Butter Cookies

Instructions

Maple Cookies:

1. Heat up the oven to 375°F and line a big baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Keep it aside.
3. Slice out 1 tablespoon of butter from the room temperature cup and place it in a small dish. Add the rest of the butter into a mixing bowl (hand or stand mixer with the paddle attachment).
4. Take out 1 tablespoon of light brown sugar and put it with the tablespoon of butter. Add the remaining brown sugar and granulated sugar to the mixing bowl. Mix on medium-high speed until smooth and light in color.
5. Scrape down the bowl, add maple syrup, egg, and vanilla. Mix on medium-high speed for about 1 minute.
6. Pour in the dry ingredients and mix. Then, use a spatula to mix the dough, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl to blend everything well.

Spiced Maple Butter:

• Mix the remaining spiced maple butter ingredients with the reserved butter and sugar in a small dish.
• Drop small amounts of this butter into the cookie dough. Gently fold the dough to create ribbons without overmixing.

Cinnamon Sugar:

• Roll dough scoops in a mix of cinnamon sugar.
• Place 3-4 cookies on the baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes, following the slamming process during specific intervals.

Once the cookies have cooled, it's time for the icing!

Maple Icing:

1. Whisk together melted butter, maple syrup, and powdered sugar.
2. Pour the icing into a piping or sandwich bag, snip off a tiny corner, and drizzle it over the cooled cookies. Enjoy!
