Maple Syrup Sandwich Cookies (Gluten Free Option)

Following the success of my Maple Syrup Cookies (especially during July 1st Canada Day Celebrations), I have come up with an even more indulgent version! ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

My original maple syrup cookie recipe was inspired by my Orange Honey Cookies Recipe. While the Orange Honey Cookies have a nice tang thanks to the citrus, Maple Syrup Cookies are perfect for those with a sweet tooth.


The Recipe

Time allotment

  2. With a whisk or a handheld mixer, mix all of the ingredients together until well blended

  3. Add 1 egg, and mix again

  4. In a separate bowl, add 2 1/4 cups (305g) flour, 1/2 (48g) almond flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt (these are the dry ingredients)

  5. Mix all of the dry ingredients together

  6. Slowly pour 1/4 portions of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, until fully combined

  7. Gently stir all of the ingredients together until just blended

  8. Take out golf ball sized portions of dough, and roll them together between your palms

  9. Line a baking pan with either parchment paper - OR - cooking spray

  10. Place dollar-sized balls of dough on the pan

  11. Bake the biscuits in the oven at 350ยฐF (180ยฐC) for 9-10 minutes

    1. They will be golden brown and have slight cracks when finished

  12. Allow the biscuits to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes

  13. If desired, top the cookies with an Maple Syrup Glaze for that extra oomph

  14. Enjoy!
