  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1/2 cup of real maple syrup
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 3 cups of all purpose flour (more for adjustment and dusting the surface)

Instructions:
  • In a large bowl cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. 
  • Beat in maple syrup and egg yolk until well combined. 
  • Sift salt and flour over mixture and fold in thoroughly to form a non-sticky dough. Start with 2.5 cups of flour and adjustment the amount until the dough turns into the right texture)
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for about 1 hour until firm. 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
  • Lightly flour the the rolling surface and roll out dough about 1/8 inch think . 
  • Cut out cookies with maple leaf shaped cutter. Gather the scraps and roll out again. When the dough becomes too soft, chill again.  
  • Bake each batch about 12 minutes.
