Maple syrup is somewhat of a religion at Patate & Cornichon, an essential in the fridge, really! But we've started to accumulate a stock that we can't seem to use up to the point that we had to refuse the latest direct delivery from Quebec by Papa&Maman!

So, other than drinking it straight from the bottle (a solution we haven't tried yet...), there's only one way to get through these liters of syrup: find recipes that use maple syrup! And here's one, just for that ;-)!

Steps

Crush the hazelnuts into small pieces. Mix the flour, fleur de sel, hazelnuts, and sugar.
Add the margarine in small pieces and incorporate it with your hands. Crumble the dough to give it a sandy texture. Add the maple syrup and almond puree.
You should be able to form a dough ball in your hands; if it's too soft: add some flour, if it's too dry: add some margarine.
Let rest for one hour in the fridge.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
Roll out your dough ball with a rolling pin to a thickness of 5 mm. Cut out your shortbread cookies using a cookie cutter and place them on parchment paper on your oven tray.
Cook for 12 minutes.
Mix two tablespoons of maple syrup with about 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar to make an icing. When your shortbread cookies have cooled, cover them with the icing.
