Delicious Maple Sugar Cookies Recipe for Any Occasion

Ingredients

Servings:
20
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup maple sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1 cup maple syrup (for drizzling)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional for flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg (optional for flavor)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and maple sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use an electric mixer for best results.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla

    Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Make sure the egg is at room temperature.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

    Sift the dry ingredients to avoid lumps.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep cookies tender.
  6. Scoop and Place on Baking Sheet

    Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Leave space between each cookie as they will spread.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.

    Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
