I let my nieces help me make these cookies, which was my first mistake because we were covered from head to toe in flour. But inspite of all that, the cookies turned out just fine. They had a yummy maple flavor and tasted great right out of the oven. The frosting was realllly sweet but that is what makes it so good. Thanks Nurse Di.
