Maple Sugar Cookies

These are delicious!  Made them for Thanksgiving and everyone loved them.

cookies

2 1/3 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened

1/3 cup oil

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 egg

2 teaspoons vanilla

1/2 teaspoon maple extract

frosting

2 cups powdered sugar

2 tablespoons water

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon maple extract

1  For the cookies, preheat oven to 350.  Line baking sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper.

2  Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.

3  Beat butter, oil and sugar until well combined.  Mix in egg, vanilla and maple extract.

4  Add flour mixture 1 cup at a time until well combined.

5  Roll dough into 2 tablespoons sized balls or use a cookie scoop to make the balls and place on baking sheets, leaving room for spreading.  Lightly flatten balls with bottom of a cup dipped in sugar.

6  Bake 8 – 10 minutes, just until edges are set.  Remove from oven and let cool on sheets for 15 minutes before removing to cooling racks to cool completely.

7  For the frosting, whisk all frosting ingredients together until smooth.  Spoon and spread frosting onto each cookie and let sit until frosting is set.
