Since fall is the time for everything apple, maple, pecans, cranberry and pumpkins, it’s time to bake cookies that are fall-themed too. Maple snickerdoodles are a delicious idea. These cookies taste like fall, and they have a sugar and cinnamon coating that is hard to resist.
Ingredients needed:
all purpose flour ground cinnamon baking powder baking soda butter white sugar maple syrup egg maple sugar (read on for information on maple sugar!)
About Maple Sugar:
How to make Maple Snickerdoodles:
Whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to combine butter and sugar. Then mix in egg and maple syrup. Blend in the dry ingredients too. Combine regular sugar with maple sugar. Then roll the dough into balls and give them a little roll in the sugar mixture too.
Place the maple snickerdoodle cookie dough balls on a baking sheet, leaving room between them for the cookies to spread while baking. Bake for about 8 minutes.
Fully baked cookies will be crackly looking on top and may look a little wet in the middle. Move the baked cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
The crackles are all part of the uniqueness of these cookies. If you are a lover of snickerdoodles, you’ll love these maple snickerdoodles too.
They have a tender texture. Store them at room temperature in a sealed container for a few days. They freeze well too. Just keep them in a sealed container, and they will be fresh and delicious for up to three months when stored in the freezer.
These are similar to my Brown Butter Snickerdoodles, and we absolutely love Cheesecake Stuffed Snickerdoodles and my Pumpkin Snickerdoodles too. But these maple snickerdoodles are the cookie to bake when you’re craving a little something with maple syrup in it. Hey, does that make them a good breakfast cookie? Why not?! Enjoy!
