How to cook deliciously - Maple Cookies
1. Stage
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, cream the butter with the granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy, five to seven minutes. Beat in the eggs and maple flavoring. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually beat the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture. Stir in the baking chips and pecans. Editor's Tip: You can substitute pure maple syrup for maple flavoring, but you will end up with a milder maple flavor, as the extract has a more concentrated taste.
2. Stage
Drop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Editor's Tip: You may want to use a second spoon to scrape the batter from your scooping spoon. Investing in a cookie scoop—which looks like a smaller ice cream scoop—makes the job even easier.
3. Stage
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on pans for two minutes, and then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
4. Stage
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from the heat, then gradually add the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and maple flavoring. Beat until smooth.
5. Stage
Drizzle the glaze over the cookies and let them dry completely. Store the cookies between pieces of waxed paper in airtight containers. Editor's Tip: You can also use parchment to store the cookies.
