Creator Notes

These cakey cookies are gentle and packed with maple flavor. There’s maple syrup within the cookie dough, and then for a bonus burst of the distinguished stuff, I roll the cookies (pre-baking) in a blend of ground pecans and maple sugar; you may per chance be in a job to change popular granulated sugar, too, they most frequently’re aloof loopy sparkling. —Erin Jeanne McDowell
