Maple Sugar Cookie with Maple Icing

In my post about the United Nations Day celebration at Miss Kiki's school, I mentioned that we made Maple cookies to the potluck. I've never made it before but decided to trust the internet and picked a recipe. I chose the Maple Sugar Cookies recipe from Taste of Home.

As usual, I made some substitute and here are what I used:

1 cup margarine

1-1/4 cups sugar

2 eggs

1/4 cup pure Canadian maple syrup

3 teaspoons home-made vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups cookie/pastry flour

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

Then I followed the directions on the original recipe.

After baking them, I decided that the vanilla flavour was too strong I could not taste the maple at all. So I made maple cookie glaze.

• 1 cup icing sugar
• 3 tbsp pure canadian maple syrup
• 1 tbsp water

I did find however, the icing was too runny. So next time I will try omitting the water and see how it goes.
