Glazed Maple Shortbread Cookies

Uh Oh…….These are so delicious…………

Glazed Maple Shortbread Cookies

1 cup butter, softened

¼ cup sugar

3 Tbsp cornstarch

1 tsp maple flavoring

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

GLAZE:

¾ cup plus 1 Tbsp confectioners’ sugar

1/3 cup maple syrup

In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar and cornstarch until blended. Beat in flavoring. Gradually beat in flour.Shape dough into a disk; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 45 minutes or until firm enough to roll.

Preheat oven to 325. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to ¼-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2 ¾ -in. leaf-shaped cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart o parchment paper-lined baking sheets.

Bake 20-25 minutes or until edges are light brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

In a small bowl, mix confectioners’ sugar and maple syrup until smooth. Spread over cookies. Let stand until set.I used recommended size for leaf cookie cutter, and this made 25 cookies. The amount will depend on the size of your cutter.

Tip: You want to wait until these are cooled before dipping in glaze as the points will break if you don’t. These are addictive after the first bite.these are a bit browner but you can’t tell in the photo
