Maple Snickerdoodles are a delicious cookie that is fondly reminiscent of the holiday season. With its swirls of cinnamon and maple taste, this cookie is a favorite cookie to make. Feel free to enjoy these cookies all through the year as well.
In a medium mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugars. Add in egg, maple syrup, and maple extract.
Add flour, cream of tartar, ground cinnamon, baking soda and salt to the wet mixture and mix until well combined. Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour and up to two days.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon for coating. Use a cookie scoop or hands to form 1 in dough balls. Roll in cinnamon sugar and place on cookie sheet 2 in apart from one another, these cookies do spread.
Bake for 11 minutes, remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
Store in an airtight container on the counter for 3-5 days.
Pure maple syrup will give the cookies a better flavor than breakfast syrup.
