So when you are out of an ingredient, how is it that is all you crave? I ran out of maple syrup and had to run and pick some up this weekend. Which isn’t as easy as running to the grocery store because I like Canadian maple syrup, not Vermont. Hey, I’m Canadian, I’m sorry.
I’ve been making these cookies for awhile and never posted the recipe over here. This time I rolled them in a mixture of maple sugar and regular granulated sugar which is why they look a bit textured. You can do either. I was trying to get more maple flavour today so thought it was a good idea.

maple sugar?! I didn’t know they made such a thing. YUM.
It’s kind of harder to come by, kind of old fashioned (but they have it at Whole Foods of course). I used to roll mine in regular granulated sugar and they were just fine!
I am forever running out of maple syrup myself! Gotta love maple cookies, what a delicious idea.
