Everyone loves cookies and this particular one is quite a delicious one. They can be served on any occasion or just munched anytime. Cookies go great with milk or with some other things and are a great accompaniment. These cookies that I’m telling you about today are called Maple Sugar Cookies and they are quite delicious.

INGREDIENTS

4 cups of flour

½ tsp of salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup coconut oil

1 cup granulated maple sugar

1 cup white sugar

1 egg

4 egg yolks

1 ½ tsp of vanilla extract

½ a tsp of maple extract (optional)

PROCEDURE

Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Mix together the flour, salt and baking powder. Cream the coconut oil together with the sugars. Beat in the eggs and the yolks and the extracts also if you’re using them. Mix the flour while remembering to scrape it off the sides of the dish also. Chill the dough briefly for about 20 minutes or so.  Divide the dough into batches and roll out to around ¼ inch thick.  Cut it with biscuit cutters into whatever shape you fancy.  Bake them two sheets at a time, the time varying slightly with the size of the cookie.

You could try variations like colouring the sugar differently to make the cookie fancier.  In this recipe coconut oil has been substituted for butter and the results are fairly pleasing.  Coconut oil is also quite good for health so you can always take a break from butter and add it in here this time. These cookies are quite sweet and you can serve them as an accompaniment with almost anything. It’s a big hit among kids and the adults don’t complain either.
