Spiced Maple Butter Cookies

(220 grams) unsalted butter, room temp

(205 grams) light brown sugar, packed

(50 grams) granulated sugar

(55 grams) pure maple syrup

tsp vanilla extract

(330 grams) all-purpose flour

tsp baking powder

tsp baking soda

tsp kosher salt

tbsp maple syrup

cinnamon

ginger

nutmeg

⅛ tsp ground cloves

(100 grams) granulated sugar

unsalted butter

(75 grams) powdered sugar

Preheat the oven to 375F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Slice 1 tablespoon of butter from the 1 cup of room temperature butter and place that tablespoon into a small dish. Place the rest of butter into the mixing bowl of a hand or stand mixer with the paddle attachment.

Measure out 1 cup of light brown sugar and remove 1 tablespoon. Place that tablespoon into the dish of 1 tablespoon of butter and add the remaining brown sugar to the large mixing bowl.

Now add the granulated sugar to the large mixing bowl and mix on medium-high speed until smooth and lightened in color (about 2 minutes of mixing).

Scrape down the bowl and add in the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla. Mix again on medium-high speed for about 1 minute.

Pour in the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Then use a rubber spatula to mix the dough by hand, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure everything is well combined.

Maple Cookies

To the small dish with the 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, add the rest of the spiced maple butter ingredients and stir to combine.

Plop small amounts of the butter throughout the cookie dough. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the dough to disperse the butter into ribbons. Careful not to over mix.

Spiced Maple Butter

Using a large 2 oz cookie scoop (or ¼ measuring cup) scoop the dough and roll in a small bowl of the cinnamon sugar.

Place 3-4 cookies on the large baking sheet and bake for 6 minutes.

After 6 minutes, open the oven door and drop the pan against the oven rack about 3 times. Continue to bake for another 2 minutes. After those 2 minutes, repeat the slamming process. Then bake for another 2 minutes, then slam again. Then bake for a final 2 minutes and drop the pan one final time for a total of 12 minutes baking.

Allow the cookies to cool and continue baking the rest of the batch. Once all the cookies have baked, make the icing.

Cinnamon Sugar

Whisk together the melted butter and maple syrup, followed by the powdered sugar. Pour the icing into a piping bag or a sandwich bag and snip off a very tiny corner.

Drizzle over the cooled cookies and enjoy!

Pancakes 'n' Bacon Cookies

all-purpose flour

baking soda

baking powder

unsalted butter, softened

maple sugar

brown sugar

egg, whisked

maple syrup

maple flavor

buttermilk

sugar

water

Begin by gathering and prepping all of your cookie ingredients according to the ingredient list above to have ready and organized for use.

In a medium-size bowl, add the flour, the baking soda and the baking powder, and gently whisk to combine these dry ingredients, and set aside for a moment.

Then, to the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the softened butter and the two sugars, and cream/mix together for on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add in the whisked egg, the maple flavor and the real maple syrup, and continue to cream/mix for another moment until combined.

Turn the mixer down to a lower speed, and begin adding the dry ingredients in increments, until they get incorporated with the creamed butter/sugar/egg mixture. Once all dry ingredients are added and combined, add in the buttermilk until combined, and turn off the mixer.

Next, divide the cookie dough in half (roughly) in the bowl with a spatula. Place a large piece of plastic wrap on your work surface, and turn half of the cookie dough out onto the plastic wrap, and gently shape it with your hands into a log shape, roughly 12 inches long, not too thick or too thin.

Wrap the plastic around it, twist the ends to secure, and place the cookie dough log into the freezer to firm for at least 45 minutes (or more, if you want to freeze the dough to save some for later). Repeat the process with the other half of the cookie dough.

To bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350°, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the chilled/firmed cookie dough log into 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick slices (cookies), and place the cookie dough slices onto the lined baking sheet. Bake the cookies for roughly 10 to 11 minutes, until soft and chewy, but slightly golden. Take care not to over-bake.

Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack. While they cool, gather and prep your maple icing ingredients according to the ingredient list to have ready and organized for use.

To make the maple icing, add all ingredients to a bowl and whisk together until smooth (the icing should be thin enough to drizzle, but thick enough to adhere well to the cookies and not get absorbed by them).

Once the cookies are cooled, drizzle the icing over them and sprinkle over the chopped, crispy bacon, and allow it to set for about 20 to 30 minutes before enjoying.
