Tasty Cookies

Around the holidays I love sugar cookies, but I like my sugar cookies made with maple syrup. I lost my favorite recipe last year for sugar cookies with maple syrup so I googled it, no luck. I did find a Cinnamon Maple Sugar Cookie recipe though. It is so tasty that every time I make them they disappear, aka my family. I am not fond of frosting or sugar toppings, but you can treat these cookies like any other sugar cookie. My oldest daughter likes to put sugar sprinkles on her cookies.
Cinnamon Maple Sugar Cookies
2/3 cup softened butter
3/4 cup sugar ( I like to do 1/4 brown sugar and 2/4 white sugar makes the cookies even better)
1 Egg
4 Tsp pure maple syrup
1 Tsp vanilla
2 tsp cinnamon
2 Cups Flour
1 1/2 Tsp baking powder
1/2 Tsp Salt

Cream Butter & sugar
Beat egg, syrup, vanilla
mix in cinnamon, flour, baking powder, and salt

Chill dough. I like to put it in the freezer so it chills faster, normally 20 min in the freezer will do, but you can put it in the fridge and wait an hr to 2 if you don't want to make cookies right away.
Roll you cookie dough out and cut with cookie cutters.
Preheat oven to 375 bake for 8min.
This can make lots of cookies, it depends on the size of your cookie cutters.
