Slightly Intoxicating Wisdom Chewy oatmeal cookies are just about everyone’s favorite. These are so easy – no creaming butter and sugar, no measuring and sifting flour, no adding leavening or spices. Simple and quick, yet they are absolutely homemade.
Snickerdoodles, the classic cookies with the quirky name, take on a marvelous maple flair in this variation. Make sure to look for maple sugar, available online or at maple or farm stands. It makes a significant difference in flavor.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon together and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 cup of white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and maple syrup. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients until just mixed. In a small dish, mix together the remaining 1/2 cup white sugar and the maple sugar. Roll dough into 1 inch balls, and roll the balls in the sugar mixture. Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies will be crackly on top and look underdone in the middle. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
