Maple Snickerdoodles
My kids finally finished their holiday candy so I returned to making treats for their school lunches. I found a recipe for these maple snickerdoodle cookies on A Latte Food that looked irresistible, especially since my family loves snickerdoodles! I think maple and cinnamon pair nicely together so I knew these cookies would be delicious. My kids enjoyed one fresh from the oven and loved them. I’ll admit that I ate part of the “broken” cookie and thought it was amazing.
Maple Snickerdoodles
Maple Snickerdoodles:
- 12 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla paste
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 ¼ cups flour
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- ½ tsp salt
Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- 1/2-1 tsp ground cinnamon to taste
How to Make Maple Snickerdoodles
In a large bowl, cream the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together, until creamy and fluffy. Add the maple syrup, vanilla paste, and egg; beat until well combined.
Sift dry ingredients together in a separate bowl, and slowly add them to the wet ingredients. Place the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat.
Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
Roll dough into small balls, and roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet, and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops have cracked and the cookies are set.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. Serve with ice-cold milk. Enjoy!
