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.

Here’s part 2 of the behind the scenes from the @millsforpets shoot!

This was challenging for me because, as a vegetarian, fish and meat kind of gross me out.. I used a paper towel to move the proteins around and it was a great solution!

✨✨✨
Stop motion is the perfect video technique to highlight the unique quality of this dog food - that it’s made from fresh produce 🥬! 

By having the fresh ingredients pop out of the dog food bags we can visually showcase why this dog food is so great for your dog and why you should buy it! 

See my feed for part 1 if you missed it and stay tuned for part 3 🙌🏻

We clean up nice 😊 

Fun stop Motion Magic to get ready for the wedding last night!

Ok let’s be honest. 
Comfort is my number 1. 
Always was and always will be. 
I’m super sensitive when it comes to touch/ feel etc so sweatshirts, cotton tshirts, leggings, sweatpants, cotton black skirts… that’s all I ever want to be wearing.. and thankfully that’s what I do!

Did I have an amazing time last night?! Yes!!!
Would it have been even better in sweats and no makeup? Duh!!!

But I will say, if I have to be wearing a full face of makeup- I’d want @eliannamakeuup to be doing it! She was super quick, and she was able to do something that complimented me but also not look like too much- and it stayed on ALL day and ALL night!!! Super impressive!

Those fake eyelashes on the other hand… 🫣

(Also, super random… I ended up with different shoes 😂 but this was option 2…)

Ok, we’re ready for the next wedding now @drayster817 💃🏻

✨Behind the Scenes✨ Here’s how I made the c ✨Behind the Scenes✨

Here’s how I made the characters change colors in the @beitissie stop motion…

1️⃣ First I asked the amazing @viculsh to illustrate and design these characters for the project! ❤️❤️❤️
2️⃣ Then I cut out with the @cricut_il and put together 5 of each character in black and white and in color. 
3️⃣ Then I imagined how I want them changing color and I cut the color characters in 4 stages, a little bit more each time. 
4️⃣ Then I glued each of the color parts that I cut onto the black and white characters, so that each one had a bit more color than the last!
5️⃣ I lined up all the characters to make sure it made sense in sequence.
6️⃣ And then I animated them, but replacing each one until I got the the fully colorful version!

✨Tony’s✨ Some behind the scenes from a quic ✨Tony’s✨

Some behind the scenes from a quick personal shoot.

The last few weeks have been super intense for me.
I got sick 😷 (which is tfu tfu tfu pretty rare for me) and 4 weeks later I got worse before getting better. Thankfully antibiotics are taking care of me now 😅..

But all the while I was trying to work (on some insanely exciting projects I CANNOT wait to share!) and rest, but mainly work. So I def didn’t have time for creating content for fun, or posting or keeping up to date etc..

So today when my husband called and asked if I wanted him to bring me something, I said “chocolate”. Now, I’m a salty first girl. I’ll (almost, apparently) *always* want fries before sweets, but that’s the first thing that came to mind.

When he came home with this @tonyschocolonely bar, I thought, can’t eat this! Have to shoot it first 📸😂

And so… here we are! We made it to the end of January, we all deserve a gold medal 🥇 (or some emotional chocolate 🍫). Who wants a piece?

✨Boker✨ It seems fitting that my first paper ✨Boker✨

It seems fitting that my first paper art stop motion would be my morning coffee ☕️ 

Had such a hard time figuring out this new @cricut_il machine! I thought it would be more user friendly and intuitive- but alas! There’s a big learning curve, which I’m sure I’ll eventually figure out (5 million YouTube videos later).

Thankfully @tam_man177 doesn’t scare easily and was willing to sit and play with me for hours to pull this off! But now we have something to show for it 😍

Also super fun to feature @shanakoppel’s Hebrew “boker” gif that I love and use every morning in my stories!
