Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoon Butter (Softened to room temperature)
  • 6 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • ½ large Egg (2 Tablespoons) (See notes)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Cup + 2 tablespoon ( 140 Gms) All purpose Flour
  • ¼ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ Cup Sprinkles (optional)

Maple Icing

  • ½ Cup Confectioners' Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Maple Extract
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Pure Maple Syrup/ Milk (Add a little more liquid if icing is too thick)

Instructions

  • Beat butter using a hand held mixer until light and creamy for a minute. Now beat butter and sugar together on high speed About 2 minutes.
  • Beat in half of an egg and vanilla. Beat on high speed to combine until everything is incorporated well.
  • Now add in dry ingredients (flour, salt, cinnamon and baking powder) in two additions and beat on low until the cookie dough forms.
  • Cover and chill the dough for atleast 2 hours and maximum 2 days in the fridge.
  • When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 deg F and line baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Roll out the cookie dough to ¼ of an inch thickness and cut cookies using a star cookie cutter. Top with sprinkles (if using) before baking.
  • Line and bake cookies for 9-10 minutes. The cookies will appear golden on the edges at this time. Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking tray and cool further down on a wire rack.
  • Dunk in maple icing after the cookies have cooled down completely. Top with additional sprinkles quickly before the icing sets!

For Maple Icing:

  • Mix confectioners' sugar, maple extract and maple syrup/milk together until combined and a smooth icing forms.
  • Add more sugar if icing is too thin. Add little milk if the maple icing is too thick.

Notes

To Measure Egg:
Lightly whisk an egg and measure out 2 tablespoons of that whisked egg. Use this to form cookie dough.
