Maple Sugar Cookies

I can honestly say that I have never used maple extract in a recipe before. Mind you, I love maple, but apparently I never came upon the idea until recently.

I found a fabulous Maple Sugar Cookies recipe from Dixie Crystals and just had to try it out for myself!

Maple Sugar Cookies

You will need:

• 2 1/3 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
• 2 cups icing sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
• Sprinkles

Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees °F. Use parchment paper on a baking sheet.

In a bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking soda.

In a large bowl, mix together butter, sugar and vegetable oil. Mix in egg, maple extract and vanilla extract. One cup at a time, add the flour mixture until combined.

Roll dough into balls (2 tablespoons size) and set onto parchment paper baking sheet. Flatten the dough balls.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool cookies before icing.

To make the icing, mix together powdered sugar, water, maple extract and vanilla extract until smooth. Spoon icing on to each cookie and use sprinkles!
