This recipe was inspired by our maple farmer in PA. She quickly gave it to me by memory as we stood in a cold parking lot, making a large maple syrup purchase/exchange. (She would meet me half way in a parking lot). Anyway...I must have written it down wrong, because my notes made no sense! I had it "stored away in a safe place" for about 2 years! (sigh) When I came across the recipe recently, I decided I would try to make it work, by guessing..and man did it ever! We LOVE these cookies! They are simply delicious. I am going to suggest playing with a list of optional goodies of choice, but my absolute favorite is adding dried cranberries. The tartness of berries with the gentle sweetness of the maple is so special! I even like it better than chocolate chips!!! (Unheard of!) This recipe makes about 3 1/2 dozen good size cookies. You could cut it in half if that is to many.
Anyway - try them and tell me what you think!
