Ingredients
For cookies:
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 tbsp. maple extract
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. cream of tartar
For icing:
- 4 tbsp. butter melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 tsp. maple extract
- 3 - 4 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
For cookies:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, oil, and sugars until combined.
- Beat in eggs, vanilla, and maple extract.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
- Gradually add flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until just combined after each addition. Do not overmix.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Drop dough by small teaspoonfuls onto baking sheets.
- Bake at 375 for 8-11 minutes, or until edges and bottoms are lightly browned.
- Remove to wire racks to cool.
For icing:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together butter, maple syrup, vanilla, maple extract, and 3 cups powdered sugar.
- Add additional powdered sugar, as needed, to achieve a consistency that is thicker than a glaze - it shouldn't run off the cookie - but easily spreadable.
- Frost cookies, and allow to set.
Notes
These are good for at least a week, but best within the first 3 days. After 3 days, they get crumbly and a bit on the drier side - still a delicious cookie though.
These freeze really well! Iced or plain, they freeze beautifully.
