There’s a reason these Maple Cookies with Maple Icing disappear faster than you can say “leaf peeping”: they’re soft, cakey, and infused with pure maple syrup in both the cookie and the glaze—no artificial flavors, no cloying sweetness, just the deep, caramel-kissed warmth of real maple in every bite.
Think of them as autumn’s answer to sugar cookies—tender, buttery, and finished with a shiny, just-sweet-enough icing that hardens into a delicate shell. Perfect for holiday cookie swaps, weekend baking with kids, or treating yourself to a taste of New England comfort.
And the best part? They’re ready in 30 minutes, use one bowl, and make your kitchen smell like a sugar shack.
Let’s bake a batch that tastes like fall distilled into cookie form.
