One of my favorite cookies is the simple shortbread cookie. Most people think of this as a tea cookie because it has a basic recipe of flour, butter and sugar. However, with a little imagination, and a favorite seasonal cookie cutter, this basic shortbread cookie can easily impress holiday guests by making a few modifications. Below is the basic shortbread cookie recipe with the added twist of adding maple flavoring into the dough, brushing maple syrup on the top before baking, and using a maple leaf cookie cutter for the design. This is one way to dress up your holiday table. Ingredients:
1 pound (4 sticks) butter, softened to room temperature ¾ cup brown sugar ½ cup white granulated sugar 4 ½ cups flour 2 tsp maple flavoring ½ tsp salt You will also need: 1 ½ cup flour (for dusting work surface) ¾ cup maple syrup (not imitation) ½ c granulated or raw sugar (optional) Pastry brush Maple leaf cookie cutter Directions:
Makes: 75-80 2” maple leaf cookies
