3 Maple Syrup Cookie Recipes That Go Great with a Glass of Milk
Maple syrup isn’t just for drizzling over pancakes or waffles; it truly is a versatile elixir that adds a touch of magic to any cooking quest or baking adventure.
In the past, our crew has covered a variety of sweet culinary creations made possible by maple syrup, from sauces and spirits to wings and waffles.
Today, we’re talking cookies. Perhaps the sweetest baked good of them all!
And yes, of course we have our very own favorite maple cookie creation featured on our website, but we like to branch out every now and again and try some new things.
Maple syrup makes a sweet substitute for refined sugar, so our crew set out on a mission to cook up some tasty cookie concoctions made with what else but the true taste of the forest.
The following are original creations inspired by classic cookie recipes that our crew adapted and modified to incorporate the rich and distinct flavor of maple syrup.
Enjoy!
