Easy Maple Cookies Recipe

Nov 11, 2020 · 2 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I love this maple cookies recipe so much because it reminds me of home 😉 Every winter I tell my kids the stories from when I was a kid growing up in Canada, eating maple syrup straight from the tree on the cold snow. Of course, my kids are now growing up in a desert climate and have no idea what I’m talking about! Enter, these maple cookies!

These are reminiscent of snickerdoodle with a unique flavor: chewy cookies, with a deep maple flavor and are perfect for fall/winter. You won’t be able to stop eating them!

What are maple cookies?

This maple cookie recipe is similar to snickerdoodle cookies with the sugar on top and the chewy insides. Using maple syrup and maple extract gives it a fun Fall flavor.

Maple cookies with maple extract

Maple is such a unique flavor, but using maple syrup alone isn’t really enough to give it the punch I like. I tried the cookies both with and without the extract since I know it’s not a common ingredient in most pantries, but I much prefer them with the maple extract.

If you can’t get a hold of any, you can (and should!) make these cookies anyway because they are delicious either way!

Does the cookie dough need to be refrigerated?

No! I tested these cookies both with refrigeration and without and I didn’t find a difference in the cookie at all! Usually when baking with butter, refrigerating the dough helps the cookie keep its shape during the baking process. But in this case, the cookies hold their shape perfectly even without refrigeration!

What ingredients do you need to make this maple cookies recipe?

  • Butter (of course! everything is better with butter 😉 but I tested these with oil also and they work well if you prefer!
  • Sugar, both white and brown
  • Pure maple syrup
  • Egg
  • Maple extract, I made these with maple extract and without, but recommend using it if you can get your hands on it (Israelis – you can order from iHerb!) it really deepens the maple flavor.
  • All purpose flour
  • Baking soda
  • Vanilla pudding powder, this add chewiness to the cookies.
  • Demerara sugar for topping the cookies.

How to make maple cookies:

I love how easy these cookies are to make! I don’t take out a mixer for these (or for almost any of my recipes 😅) just use a whisk and spatula.

  1. First whisk the softened butter with the sugars.
  2. Then add the wet ingredients.
  3. Next fold in the dry ingredients and you have your cookie dough!
  4. Form balls out of the dough, and roll each ball into the Demerara sugar.
  5. Then bake and enjoy!
  • mixing bowl with softened butter, sugar and brown sugar
  • Cookie dough balls covered in sugar before baking

Variations to the recipe:

We loved this recipe so much, we tried it a bunch of times in different variations and they were all huge successes!!

Non-Dairy Version:

Since I know lots of people like to make cookies Pareve (non-dairy) I wanted to give a butter alternative. Canola oil works perfectly in place of butter for a non-dairy variation, just use about a Tablespoon less oil than butter.

Fridge Cookies

No time or patience to roll out balls and dip in sugar? No problem! Just roll the dough into a log and refrigerate for 1 hour, or freeze if not baking right away. Slice, sprinkle some Demerara sugar on top and bake!

Can you freeze these cookies?

Yes!!! One way I love to freeze these is after I shape the balls and cover them in the sugar. Freeze them before baking in a ziplock bag, remove and bake in a pre-heated oven straight from the freezer.

      It’s raw cane sugar, you can use light brown sugar if you can’t find demerera.

✨Happy Purim!✨ When Purim fall out on a FRYda ✨Happy Purim!✨

When Purim fall out on a FRYday...
🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟

As of yesterday at this time I had no costume plans and was bumming out.

I love Purim, I love coming up with cute / fun costume ideas, running around town looking forward the different components and then hot gluing into the night... ahhh good times 😅🙌🏻

Obviously this year threw me for a loop. But my teens and I put our heads together and scoured Pinterest. My criteria was: EASY, EASY, EASY and cute (and easy!).

So happy we stumbled on this one bc it’s just PERFECT for our family 😂🍟

Wishing you all a *happy* Purim (regardless of the circumstances) and a very happy FRYday 🎉

✨Fancy Raspberry Hamentashen✨ WHAT A WEEK (ok ✨Fancy Raspberry Hamentashen✨

WHAT A WEEK (ok two weeks). It’s been pretty rocky for my family and I am so thankful that we are all feeling great now, Thank God.

I appreciate this community so much and all the love and concern and offers of help I got from you all was so touching ❤️ thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I wasn’t sure what Purim would look like for us this year, and to be honest I still don’t know. 

But I do know that hamentashen will be involved bc yum.

I created these hamentashen a few weeks ago when I was working on a valentines video for a client and I came across this amazing raspberry chocolate. It tasted SO good I just knew I wanted it on my hamentashen 🤣

All the deets are up on the blog. If you can’t find this specific chocolate, no worries, you can use ruby chocolate for the pink or even white chocolate! 

Even though I loveeee how these came out (delish!) I think I’m always going to be team classic hamentashen 😅 what about you? Team Fancy or classic?

✨Happy Birthday Bébé!✨ My baby is 7 today a ✨Happy Birthday Bébé!✨

My baby is 7 today and you can say I’m having all the feels. 
But the main one is exhaustion (quarantine blah blah blah).

But seriously, as usual this cake was all done today including deciding on the theme 😂 luckily I had red fondant and my friends dropped off balloons and sparklers 🧨.

If you don’t recognize the cake, don’t worry, I don’t either. But Yahav can tell you all about Minecraft and the TNT 🤷🏻‍♀️

Now getting the birthday boy to pose for the photos, that was the real challenge 🤣 check out my stories for a little BTS!

{thanks for all the love in my stories tonight guys!! 💗 let’s distract ourselves from reality for a bit, shall we?}

Woo hoo it’s that time of year again ! Before every holiday I find myself saying “this one is my favorite” 😂 so at least I’m consistent.

There really is something special about each holiday, and Purim is no exception. 

My famous hamentashen recipe is updated and on the blog now! It is the only hamentashen dough recipe you’ll need this season (and ever!). 

Here are a few reasons why:
-no marg.
-no chill
-no OJ
-so quick, easy and DELISH!
-super easy dough to work with
-use any fillings/topping you like
-and did I say it’s delish?

Go on, give it a try and thank me later 😝

✨Shabbat Shalom✨ Ahhhhh I haven’t posted si ✨Shabbat Shalom✨

Ahhhhh I haven’t posted since *last* Friday 🙊

Week 4 of lockdown is behind us and it’s still not clear of the kids will be going back to school next week or not... 

I LOVE having everyone at home, I really do. But it’s been so challenging. How are you all managing? Is it still lockdown where you are? Are you virtual schooling with your kids? 😬

Wishing everyone (including myself lol) a restful and peaceful Shabbat ✌🏻

Shabbat shalom guys ✌🏻

חלה בשום

המצרכים (לחלה אחת):
½ 4 כפיות שמרים יבשים
כף סוכר לבן
2 כוסות מים פושרים
¾ כוס סוכר לבן
½ כוס שמן קנולה
1 ביצה L
קילו קמח לחם
כף מלח ורוד ״הימלאיה דק״

לציפוי:
1 חלמון
1 כף מים
שומשום (אופציונלי)

תוספת שום:
רבע כוס שמן זית
3-4 שיני שום כתוש
פטרוזיליה טריה

אופן ההכנה:
 בקערת מיקסר ערבבו שמרים, סוכר ומים. חכו 5 דקות.
הוסיפו סוכר, שמן, ביצה, קמח ומלח והפעילו את המיקסר על מהירות נמוכה.
אם הבצק דביקי מאוד הוסיפו קצת קמח.
המשיכו לערבב במיקסר לחמש דקות, עצרו ותנו לבצק לנוח 2 דקות.
המשיכו ככה עד לקבלת בצק חלק.
כדררו את הבצק והניחו בקערה משומנת, כסו עם ניילון נצמד ומגבת ותנו לו לתפוח למשך שעה.
אחרי שעה נפח הבצק אמור להיות בערך כפול. לושו את הבצק לחצי דקה, ותנו לו לנוח עוד שעה בערך.
הוציאו את הבצק מהקערה וחלקו אותו ל-4 כדורים שווים. החזירו 3 כדורים לקערה.
חלקו את הבצק שנשאר ל-4 וקלעו צמה. המשיכו עם שאר הבצק.
הניחו את החלות על מגש תנור עם נייר אפייה וכסו עם מגבת לתפיחה אחרונה של 20 דקות.
חממו את התנור ל-180 מעלות.
בקערה קטנה ערבבו חלמון ומים והברישו על החלות.
אפו את החלות למשך 25-35 דקות עד לקבלת צבע זהב.
בקערה קטנה ערבבו שמן, שום ופטרוזיליה.
הברישו את התערובת מעל החלה שיצאה הרגע מהתנור.

✨Tu B’Shvat 🌳✨ For Tu B’Shvat this yea ✨Tu B’Shvat 🌳✨

For Tu B’Shvat this year I wanted to focus on the shivat haminim (7 species) of the land of Israel. And obviously, boards. Bc who doesn’t love a good board?

This Tu B’Shvat board features (almost) all of the shivat haminim including my favorite crackers from @pat_bamelach plus some yummy cheese and dried/fresh fruit.

I also wrote up a blog post tutorial on how you can make your own tu B’Shvat board, so go check it out at the link in my bio.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR TREES 🌳!
