Spiced Maple Cookies
 
 
Spiced maple cookies that are made with maple sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom for a warm fall flavor.
Yield: 24 cookies
Ingredients
  • 2¾ cups (352 g) all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground cardamom
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 sticks (226 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 cup (200 g) dark brown sugar
  • ¾ cup (150 g) maple sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 375F. Set two oven racks in the upper-middle and lower-middle positions, respectively. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, cardamom, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and maple sugar until smooth. Add in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Add the flour mixture to the bowl and fold in with a rubber spatula until there are no more pockets of dry flour.
  5. Using a medium cookie scoop (~ 2 tbsp), portion out the dough into 24 portions and divide among the prepared baking sheets. Roll into balls and place them at least 3 inches apart from each other on the baking sheets so that there are twelve per sheet.
  6. Place the pans in the oven and bake simultaneously, switching the top and bottom sheets midway through the baking time, about 9-12 minutes or until puffy and starting to crack. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheets before serving.
