Maple Cookies are soft, chewy cookies sweetened with real maple syrup and optionally spiced with cinnamon. Perfect for fall and winter, these cookies offer a warm, nostalgic flavor and can be enjoyed plain or glazed.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream

Instructions
