It’s maple syrup season, when the sap is flowing and everyone in Quebec is indulging in it by the liter, whether at the sugar shack or in recipes like this one 😅

In this shortbread recipe, maple syrup replaces a big part of the sugar so you really taste the maple flavor. Just the smell of this cookie dough is heavenly 🥹

Are there any people out there who don’t like maple syrup? Just curious if that even exists 😍

Steps

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the margarine in small pieces and incorporate it with your hands. Crumble the dough until it forms a sandy texture.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and plant-based milk, then mix by hand to form a dough (it’s a shortbread dough, so it’s normal for it to be slightly crumbly, but not so much that it prevents you from rolling it out).
Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).
Flour the work surface. Roll out your ball of dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of 5 mm. Use a cookie cutter to cut out your cookies and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 14 minutes.
Prepare the frosting: whip the margarine until soft and creamy. Add the maple syrup and milk, and whip again. Finally, add the powdered sugar and whip until you achieve a smooth frosting. Place it in the fridge.
When the cookies are cooled, frost half of them and sandwich them with the other half! The cookies can be stored at room temperature for 3 days.
