I came across this cookie recipe, and although it's expensive to use a whole cup of real maple syrup, I had a feeling it would be worth it. These cookies are wonderful! They're extremely moist, and the maple flavor makes it a nice change from a typical sugar cookie. These were a big hit with our friends, and they stay soft for several days (if they last that long!).
