Maple Walnut Sugar Cookies

• 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• ½ teaspoon baking powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 cup butter, softened

• 1 ½ cups Mount Cabot Dry Maple Sugar

• 1 egg

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• ¾ cup chopped walnuts

With big flavor, delicate crisp, and chewy centers, these cookies are a favorite and can be topped with maple icing to keep you extra sweet.

1. Preheat oven to 350º. In a small bowl, whisk or sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and maple sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the mixture, stirring until combined, but avoiding over-mixing. Fold in the walnuts.

3. Spoon rounded teaspoons onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake about 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Try to wait at least a minute before removing cookies from the hot baking pan. Just try.
