Canadian Maple Syrup Cookies (Gluten Free Option)

July 1st is soon approaching, so I concocted a fun recipe with which to celebrate!

This maple syrup cookie recipe was inspired by my original Orange Honey Cookies Recipe, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how these cookies turned out. While the Orange Honey Cookies have a nice tang thanks to the citrus, these Maple Syrup Cookies are perfect for those with a sweet tooth! Whether you live in Canada or not, there’s nothing stoping you from enjoying this delicious treat! And for those who do:

🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦

Mix all of the dry ingredients together
Slowly pour 1/4 portions of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, until fully combined

Take out golf ball sized portions of dough, and roll them together between your palms
Line a baking pan with either parchment paper - OR - cooking spray
Place dollar-sized balls of dough on the pan
Bake the biscuits in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 9-10 minutes

Allow the biscuits to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes
If desired, top the cookies with an Maple Syrup Glaze for that extra oomph
Enjoy!
