Ingredients

Instructions

  • Leave your organic butter out to come to room temperature and soften. You can also take the maple syrup out and measure a little while before you start baking so it is not cold either. Heat the oven to 350° F.
  • Cream all 3 ingredients together, no need for a mixer, a good old spoon will work. I like to make the cookies fairly small, about one tablespoon.
  • You can either press it out and use cookie cutters, or use a cookie scoop then roll and flatten. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. I like to use a baking stone for almost all cookies. If you don't have a stone, use parchment paper on top of your cookie sheet.
  • Let cool for a couple minutes before you remove them from the sheet. Let cool fully before decorating with ganache, if desired.

Notes

These are actually a little easier to shape, but they are also more delicate. And a little crumbly if you don't let them cool off before removing from your baking stone.
