Equipment

  • Hand mixer

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1.5 sticks salted butter, melted but not hot This converts to a 3/4 cup or 170 grams
  • 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp. almond extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup confectioners sugar for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375
  • Combine the sugar and the butter using a hand mixer. Mix until it is fluffy.
  • Add in the baking powder, egg, maple, vanilla, almond extract and cinnamon. Blend well.
  • Add in the flower slowly, mixing about ½ cup at a time.
  • Once everything is mixed, dough may seem piece-y. Use your hands to bring it together more before rolling it out and shaping it.
  • Roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to cut the shape. Use additional flour as needed.
  • OR, roll out the dough and use your hands to form the moon shapes. You can use a small ice cream scoop to get consistent sizes.
  • Add the cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake on the center rack for 9 minutes.
  • Cool on the cookie sheet a minute or two before moving them to a cooling rack.
  • Let them cool completely and then top with confectioners's sugar.
