Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 tbsp flaxseed with 1.50 tbsp water.
- Stir well and let sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens. This will act as your egg substitute.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1/2 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the thickened flaxseed mixture, 1/2 cup maple syrup, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of whole-grain wheat flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
4. Shape the Cookies:
- Place 1/4 cup of granulated sugar into a small bowl.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, shape the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Roll each ball in the sugar to coat, then place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/8 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup soy milk.
- Stir continuously until the sugars are completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and allow the icing to cool slightly. If the icing thickens too much, add a tiny bit more soy milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle or spread a small amount of maple icing over each cookie.
- Allow the icing to set before serving.
- Enjoy your delicious maple cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
Tips:
- For a more pronounced maple flavor, use pure maple syrup instead of artificial maple flavoring.
- Make sure to let the flaxseed and water mixture sit for a few minutes to properly thicken before using it as an egg substitute.
- Chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking can help the cookies hold their shape better.
- If you prefer a softer cookie, slightly underbake them by 1-2 minutes; for a crispier cookie, bake a few minutes longer.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for several days.
And there you have it, delicious homemade maple cookies that are perfect for sharing with friends and family or enjoying as a sweet treat for yourself. The unique combination of maple syrup and wholesome ingredients creates a cookie that is both flavorful and comforting. Enjoy your baking, and don't forget to savor each bite!
