I can’t decide if these taste more like french toast or a brown sugar cinnamon pop tart! Either way, these sugar cookies are fabulous and a total hit with my family and friends. Enjoy!

Serves: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- COOKIES
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter, slightly softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- FROSTING
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 1 lb. powdered sugar
- 2-3 tsp. maple extract
- 2-4 Tablespoons milk, or to desired consistency
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cream sugar and butter with mixer; add egg and beat until combined.
- Add dry ingredients to a sifter. Alternate adding milk and dry ingredients to the butter mixture while mixing. Then add vanilla and stir.
- Chill for 30 minutes before rolling out. Roll out on floured surface, cut into squares and bake at 375 degrees for 10-11 minutes, being careful not to over-bake.
- To make the frosting, cream softened butter with 1 cup of the powdered sugar and then slowly add in the rest.
- Add maple extract (I used 3 teaspoons) and milk, and stir. The consistency you’re looking for is thick and spreadable; not runny.
- Frost cookies, sprinkle with cinnamon and enjoy! Store in an air-tight container at room temperature to keep fresh for at least 3 days.
