Cakespy: Vermont Maple Cookies Recipe

• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 cup frosting of your choice, to form sandwiches (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 400u0b0F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set to the side.
2. In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla, once again mixing until smooth and light.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Add it in 2-3 increments, alternating by adding the maple syrup (begin and end with the flour mixture), stirring after each addition. Between additions, pause to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
4. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving 1 1/2 inches around each cookie to allow for spreading.
5. Bake 8-10 minutes, or until golden around the edges and with a dull finish on top. If desired (do it) sandwich two cookies with frosting of your choice in the middle to serve.
