Big and Soft Brown Sugar Cookies with Maple Icing

 I have been on a cookie kick this evening.  My hubby and I had a date night baking cookie which was a blast.  This particular cookie reminded that fall is right around the corner and I suddenly got excited.  This is going to make the perfect fall cookie, that will go like hot cakes as soon as they get out of the oven.  Just make sure to get that nummy drizzle on if you can! Enjoy!!

Ingredients

FOR THE COOKIES:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup dark Karo syrup
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 cup flour
FOR THE ICING:
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon maple extract
2 tablespoons dark karo syrup
1 tablespoon milk

Directions

FOR THE COOKIES:
In a large bowl, beat together the butter, Karo, sugar and egg until very light and fluffy. Add the remaining ingredients and beat together until well mixed. Roll into golf-ball sized balls. Place 3 cookies on each cookie sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 375 degrees for 10-13 minutes, or just until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.

FOR THE ICING:
Whisk all ingredients together until smooth. Spoon into a ziploc baggies. Snip off the corner of the bag and pipe onto slightly warm cookies. Allow to set for 20-30 minutes before packaging up cookies.

  1. I'm sorry I took so long to follow you in return! Maple icing sounds absolutely delectable. Maybe I should pick up some maple extract before fall baking begins.
