Chewy Maple Cut-Out Cookies {Gluten-free}

themindfulmeringue
Fun. Festive. Stress-free. If Canada Day had its own cookie, I bet they'd be shaped like a maple leaf and taste like a maple sugar snack. These Chewy Maple Cut-Out Cookies are made with only a few ingredients and adapted from my popular Chewy Almond Cookies recipe.

Ingredients
  

Chewy Maple Cookies

  • 3 1/4 cup Almond Flour unbleached, fine ground
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar unrefined, cane sugar
  • 2 Eggs large, room temperature
  • 2 tsp Maple Extract
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • a pinch of salt

Maple Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tsp Maple Syrup
  • 4-5 tsp Milk or water
  • food colouring

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F (325F convection bake). Line 1 baking tray with parchment and set aside.

Maple Cookies

  • In a large bowl, combine almond flour with sugar, eggs, salt, and extracts (maple and vanilla). Mix to together until wet and evenly combined. (note: the mixture will look dry at first but keep pressing your spatula/mixing spoon into ingredients to form a wet dough)
  • Form dough into a large ball. Press between 2 sheets of parchment, rolling the dough to 1/4" thickness.
  • Bake for ~15-20 minutes or until the tops are dry to the touch, and edges/bottom golden brown. Let cool completely on a baking sheet.

Maple Glaze

  • In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar with maple syrup, and milk/water. Continue adding a few drops of liquid at a time until a thick, dip-able, glaze forms.
  • Add food colouring until your desired colour is achieved.

Assembly

  • Dip the top of your cookies in glaze and return them to the parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Allow to cool fully and store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Sofia’s Tips:
  • Make it sensory: Encourage your kids to feel the textures—almond flour, cookie-cutters, smooth glaze that hardens
  • Make ahead: Great make-ahead treat 
  • Mindful pause: While your cookies cool and the glaze sets, take a moment to sit, sip some tea, and reflect on something that made you smile today.
