Maple Cookie Cut Outs


1 cup butter, room temp
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
6 T maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1-2 tsp maple flavoring
1-2 T real maple syrup
2 tsp aluminum free baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 1/2 to 3 3/4 cups flour
*Cream sugar and butter. Add eggs. Mix well. Blend in maple syrup and flavorings. Add dry ingredients. Mix well. Divide dough into 3 parts. Color one red and another one orange, leave the last one plain or color it green. Wrap each section of dough individually in plastic wrap. Chill for 3 - 4 hours.
Gently fold about 1/4 of each color of dough together. Roll out on a floured surface. Dough should look marbled. Cup with leaf cutters. Bake at 350* for 7- 9 minutes. Don't over bake.

They look so fun! Fun to give neighbors and friends. Might give them a try tomorrow. I'm sure they won't look quite like yours. Mine will look more leaves tostled and stepped on. HEHE! Thanks for the fun idea!
