Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 1 c butter, softened (2 sticks)
2/3 c sugar
1/3 c brown sugar
1 egg
1 T maple syrup
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Directions: |
Directions:Beat the butter with the sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg, syrup and vanilla, and beat until well-mixed with the butter. Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt until the dough is smooth.
Divide the dough in half. Place each half between two sheets of wax paper and roll out to 1/4″ thick. Refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375F. Pull one dough sheet from the refrigerator and peel off the top sheet of wax paper. Cut into shapes using your favorite cookie cutters and space 1″ apart on greased cookie sheets. Bake for 7-9 minutes at 375F until the edges start to brown. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
When you can’t get any more cookies out of your dough, mash the scraps together and roll the dough out once more. Cut out all the additional cookies you can, then do what grandpa always did: piece together the scraps into random shapes and place them on the cookie sheets.
Allow the cookies to cool completely before decorating. |

Notes: I love decorating these for the holidays in place of sugar cookies.
Tip: As you roll out and cut the dough, leave half of it refrigerated until you need it. As the dough warms up, it will not hold its shape as well and will stick to the wax paper more!
Tip: If you roll the dough out more than twice, the cookies will be tough. Use the ‘random shapes’ method for the scraps after the second rolling instead!
