HOW DO I MAKE MAPLE SNICKERDOODLES?

To make this yummy maple snickerdoodles cookie recipe, start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees. Prepare your cookie sheets with parchment paper. This will make clean up a breeze.

Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add the butter, sugar, and brown sugar in the mixing bowl. In a stand mixer, cream the butter and both sugars together until light and fluffy. Add in the maple syrup, vanilla, and egg in with the butter and sugar mixture and beat until all of the ingredients are well combined.

In the large bowl sift the dry ingredients.

Slowly, a little at a time add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Cover the bowl and place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill.

After the dough has been chilled, scoop out the dough and roll it into 1 1/2 balls. Roll the dough balls in the cinnamon sugar.

Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared cookie sheets.

Bake the cookies at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies have cracked and the cookies are set.

If you are looking for a new cookie recipe to leave for Santa, try this one. A little elf told me he loves the flavor of maple!
