Maple Sugar Cookies

By: Addie Gundry, Cookbook Author and Food Network Star

There's no better way to get in the fall spirit than with this recipe for Maple Sugar Cookies. These rich and sweet cookies are a baker's delight. Not only are the cookies themselves flavored with this classic autumn staple, there's also a lovely maple glaze on the top that is simply divine. These cookies are the perfect thing to eat, curled up by the fireplace, with a cup of hot chocolate. They also make a great pairing with a cup of coffee if you're craving a sweet pick-me-up in the morning.

From the Chef: It's always such a treat to chow down on maple sugar candy, but you don't have to wait for fall anymore. These maple sugar cookies give you all the flavor you're looking for in just one bite. (Plus, they make excellent cookie sandwiches!)
