Swedish Butter Cookies

Connie K's Note:

From 'Taste of Home Cookies' - These are a crisp butter cookie with a secret ingredient. What coffee does for chocolate, the very small amount of maple syrup does for these butter cookies - rich, buttery, mmmmm! The dough rolls into logs and I cut with a pizza cutter for quick production.

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 6 dozen

1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.
2. Add maple syrup; mix well.

4. Divide the dough into eight portions; Roll each portion into a 9-inch log.
5. Place 3-inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
6. Bake at 300°F for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
7. Cut into 1-inch slices (I use a pizza cutter and go through all on a sheet at once).

Awesome! The texture & flavor are incredible, yet simple. Found recipe thanks to my daughter needing a dish from our culture and she wanted cookies. YUMMMMM! :) llt

Very good! I pulled them out of the oven at the specified 25 min. and they were just right- perfectly crunchy. Most of them are gone now- my dad and brother seem to like them too ;-D
