Maple Shortbread Cookies - Rolled Version

• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup maple sugar
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt, omit if using salted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon maple extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons maple sugar, for topping

1. Beat the butter with the sugars, salt, vanilla and maple extract, until well blended.
2. Beat in the flour to form a smooth dough. The dough will be crumbly at first, but will come together as it's mixed.
3. Divide the dough in half, pat each half into a disk, wrap well and chill for about an hour.
4. Preheat oven to 350*F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, or grease lightly.
5. Sprinkle the dough and your work surface lightly with flour.
6. Roll the dough till it's a scant 1/4" thick.
7. Cut cookies with a cutter and place on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with the extra maple sugar.
8. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
9. Let sit on the baking sheet for several minutes before moving to a rack to cool completely.
