Delicate rolled cookies infused with pure maple syrup create these tender, buttery treats perfect for any season. These versatile cut-out cookies can be shaped with your favorite cookie cutters and are especially beautiful when made with maple leaf shapes and decoratively scored. The rich maple flavor shines through in both the cookie and the glossy glaze that sets perfectly for a professional finish. Great for gift-giving, holiday celebrations, or simply enjoying with afternoon tea. - Claude

💬 Uncle Dave says...
Dough can be made up to 4 days ahead and kept chilled in the refrigerator. If using Grade A maple syrup instead of Grade B, add 3 drops of maple extract for enhanced flavor. Cookies keep in airtight containers for 1 week.
