Maple nut!! One of my fave flavors.
Buttery shortbread cookies. Another fave.
Combine them and you have one delish bite after another!!
These are super EZ to make and look great on a Christmas goodie tray. I also like that you can keep them in the frig and "slice and bake" as many as you need, or when you have more time to bake them. I place them on a rack after dipping them in the maple glaze, then sprinkle with crushed walnuts and let them dry.
1 c. butter, room temp
2/3 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. maple extract
1 3/4 c. flour
1/4. corn starch
3/4 c. chopped walnuts
Cream the butter and brown sugar. Stir in the extract. Add the flour and corn starch. Stir in the walnuts. Form into a log, wrap in plastic and chill for 3 to 4 hours. Slice and bake on parchment lined cookie sheets at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely.
Glaze:
1 c. sifted powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. maple extract
2 to 3 Tbsp. milk
Mix well and dip half of the cookie into the glaze. Sprinkle with some crushed walnuts and let dry completely before storing. Makes about 2 1/2 to 3 dozen depending on how thick you slice them.
