Glazed Maple Leaf Cookies for 24

Instructions:

1. Cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Beat in the egg, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.
3. Gradually stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt on low speed just until the dough comes together.
4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, shape it into a flat disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
5. Roll the chilled dough to ¼-inch thickness and use a maple leaf cutter to press firmly into the dough.
6. Place the leaves on a parchment-lined sheet, leaving 2 inches between them, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes.
7. Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
8. Whisk together powdered sugar and maple syrup, adding milk or cream one teaspoon at a time until the glaze ribbons slowly off the spoon.
9. Dip the top of each cooled cookie into the glaze or drizzle using a fork, and let set for 15 minutes.
