Delicious Brown Sugar Maple Sandwich Cookies
These cookies feature a soft and chewy brown sugar base, complemented by a creamy maple frosting sandwiched between two cookies. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and makes approximately 12 sandwich cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Maple Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the maple syrup and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Sandwich Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the maple filling on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie, pressing gently to sandwich them together.
- Serve: Enjoy your Brown Sugar Maple Sandwich Cookies with a glass of milk or as part of your holiday cookie platter.
