Recipe Introduction


Makes about 5 dozen; analysis per one cookie

Chill this cookie dough in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before rolling and cutting into holiday shapes. It can also be chilled overnight. If you use sprinkles to decorate, sprinkle before baking, otherwise decorate as desired using Royal Icing.



List of Ingredients




2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 large egg, at room temperature, lightly beaten
2/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt; set the mixture aside.

In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, blend the butter with the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

Add the maple syrup and egg; blend until the dough is smooth.

Fold in the walnuts. Divide the dough in half and place each half on a sheet of plastic wrap. Shape each half into an 8-inch squared-off log. Wrap them in plastic wrap; chill at least 3 hours or overnight.

At baking time, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line the baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cut the dough crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices about one inch apart on the sheets.

Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, until the edges just begin to brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
