Delicious Maple Cookies

**Make the dough the day before you bake the cookies.

This cookie recipe is great as you can make the dough as a cooking experience the day before and then cook them as a second cooking experience the next day.

Ingredients Needed:

3/4 cup sugar
¼ cup sugar (for dusting)
1 cup (8oz.) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg yolk
3 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

The day before:

1. Beat together the sugar and butter with an electric beater on high speed for about 3 minutes.

2. Add the maple syrup, vanilla and egg yolk and mix for 1 minute.

4. Sift the flour and salt directly into the butter/sugar mixture. Beat at medium speed until combined - about 2 minutes.

5. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate overnight.

The next day:

Preheat oven to 350°F. To make the cookies:

1. Butter two baking sheets.

2. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Working with 1 portion at a time, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thick.

3. Cut out shapes with a cookie cutter and place on prepared cookie sheets, about 1 inch apart.

4. Gather scraps, reroll and cut out as many additional cookies as possible. Repeat with second dough portion.

Dust the cookies with granulated sugar.
