This is my favorite cookie recipe and a perfect treat for the holidays, or really any time. It reminds me of a super moist sugar cookie with a mild hint of maple, which is the perfect accent. I really can’t express enough how great these are!

A few notes about the recipe. I began baking this recipe before I went grain-free. This recipe can be made exactly the same, subbing Almond flour for wheat flour. You can find the grain-free version here. Having made both recipes countless times, I can say with all honesty that I see no compromise in the grain-free version. Both recipes are a delicious treat.

This makes a very large batch so be prepared to spend some quality time rolling dough balls and cooking 3-4 sheets. I  highly encourage you to refrigerate the dough for at least two hours to firm before rolling. To ease rolling, I keep a small dish of water nearby and dip my fingers between balls, this works better than rolling in flour.

Organic Maple Cookies - OrganicallyMade.comMy recipe calls for Maple Sugar, which is hard to source locally. I order mine online at Amazon.com or Vitacost.com. I love the additional flavor that Maple Sugar adds, but it can be substituted for Coconut Sugar if you don’t have any on hand.

 

Organic Maple Cookies - OrganicallyMade.comThese cookies spread like crazy if the dough is not thoroughly. I recommend placing the balls 2″ apart and not try to cram these all onto fewer sheets or you will end up with a giant cookie blob. I encourage you to bake this cookie on parchment and not directly on the cookie sheet, they are delicate and will fall apart if you have to scrape them too much. Allow to cool for several minutes on the parchment before transferring them to a platter.
