Description

Maple is one of the most under-appreciated flavors, but not for long! These sweet and soft maple sugar cookies pack a double whammy with maple flavoring in the cookie as well as the icing - making them the perfect Fall dessert.

Ingredients

2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour* 
1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened 
1/3 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
1 large egg 
2 teaspoons vanilla extract 
1/2 teaspoon maple extract 
2 cups Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar
2 tablespoons water 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
1/2 teaspoon maple extract 
Sprinkles

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.  Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter, vegetable oil and sugar until well combined.   Mix in egg, vanilla extract and maple extract.
  4. Add flour mixture 1 cup at a time, mixing until completely combined.
  5. Roll 2 tablespoons of dough into balls and place on prepared baking sheet, leaving room for spreading. Lightly flatten dough balls with bottom of a cup into a disk shape.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, just until edges are set.  Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes on baking pan.  Transfer to a cooling rack.
  7. For icing: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, water, vanilla extract and maple extract until smooth.
  8. Using a spoon, smooth icing onto top of each cookie. Quickly sprinkle with sprinkles if desired and let set for 10 minutes, or until hardened.
  9. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
