Maple Cookies
This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for supporting the brands that keep me creative in my tiny kitchen!
I came across this cookie recipe, and although it’s expensive to use a whole cup of real maple syrup, I had a feeling it would be worth it. These cookies are wonderful! They’re extremely moist, and the maple flavor makes it a nice change from a typical sugar cookie. These were a big hit with our friends, and they stay soft for several days (if they last that long!).

I love anything with a maple flavor…I might make these and cut the recipe in half, so I’m not using a full cup of pure maple syrup and also not making 60 cookies…I definitely don’t need that many! 🙂

I love maple in baked goods. And with a full cup of the syrup in these cookies, they truly must be something else. 😉

Is it safe to say I’ve never tried real maple syrup before? haha. It’s true, I’ve only used the fake stuff since I was small! These would be a great excuse to buy the real stuff! Looks great!

Made these yesterday…they are delicious!
I tried some without rolling in sugar, they taste more like pancakes that way. A great option, but so much better with a light sugar coating.
Thanks for the great recipe!

Pecans couldn’t hurt, could they?

ZLOVE THESE COOKIES I GREW UP ON THE REAL MAPLE SYRUP .
Ashley
I’m so glad these were a hit, Kim! Once you’ve had real maple syrup it’s hard to go back to the imitation kind for sure!

My young niece and I just made these. They came out good! But I didn’t roll them in the extra sugar. They are sweet enough without all that sugar added. Also we did the whole recipe. But we made large cookies. Very yummy! Love this!
Ashley
Glad these were a hit, Constanze! It’s been a long time since I made a batch of these but now I’m totally craving them again 🙂

Do they freeze well?
Ashley
Hi Nicole! I haven’t personally tried freezing these but my inclination is that they’d freeze well. You could also consider freezing the dough vs the baked cookies. Here’s a great article with tips for freezing cookies: https://www.thekitchn.com/the-best-cookies-to-freeze-and-how-to-do-it-tips-from-the-kitchn-213638
