I never much liked sugar cookies. They just weren't very exciting and seemed to me to purely be a medium for decoration, the cookie dough itself had no real taste so you had to sugar it up. I discovered this recipe many years ago...it was, in fact, one of my first 'holiday' cookies and remains our standard dough for making cut-outs. The maple flavor gives these cookies an unexpected depth...I love watching peoples faces the first time they try one...they think it's going to be another cardboard tasting sugar cookie...but no! there's actual flavor in there...can I have another one of those?
Maple Butter Cookies
1 cup Butter-soft
1 cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 cup Maple syrup...the real stuff
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups flour
Cream together butter, sugar and maple syrup
Add egg yolk...mix well
sift flour and salt gether and stir into above
wrap tightly and refridgerate 1 hour
roll out on floured board and cut out as desired.
for the cookies above use two heart cutters of different sizes
and fill the center with crushed hard candy.
Bake at 325 for 10 - 12 minutes.

Thank you for this recipe. It's terrific, tasty and subtle. I had a ball breaking up LifeSavers to for the interiors. Wish I were allowed to post a photo here. I think you would find the cookies I made amusing.
send me a photo to carrithurman@gmail.com and I'll post it, you've peaked my curiosity!...thanks for making them!
I have had (and unfortunately also have made) many lack luster sugar cokies. I can't wait to give these a try.
Hey, Maggie...you will love these cookies, I just know it! I'm from Mt. Clemens...isn't that funny?! I haven't been back in a long time...let me know how this recipe works for you!
These maple butter cookies sounds delicious. Had seen some similar ones in my friend’s bridal shower. They were simply yummy and so soft. Along with this I loved number of dishes. When asked about recipe then came to know that they have been taken from Nom Photo App. Will use this app for my cooking too.
