Maple Syrup and Walnut Cookies Recipe

2 1/4 c flour

1 t baking soda

1 t salt

1 c butter, soft

3/4 c sugar

3/4 c brown sugar

1 t vanilla

2 eggs

1 1/2 c walnuts

1 c maple syrup

Preheat oven to 375. In one bowl cream butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Add vanilla, eggs and maple syrup. In separate bowl mix dry ingredients and add slowly to wet mixture. Form into teaspoon-sized balls on cookie sheet and bake 9-11 minutes.

Notes:

• As always, DON'T overmix! Your batter will be the consistency of concrete and you'll emulsify everything. This will affect the texture of your resulting cookie and make them hard.
• If you keep your butter in the fridge and don't want to wait a hundred years for it to come to room temperature, simply but what you need on a dish in the microwave and set for 20-25 seconds (go with less time first). This will make the butter soft but not melt it.
