Swedish Butter Cookies

Submitted by Connie K

"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."

These cookies are delicious. Inhaled by everyone in the family. I will not roll in logs next time.

These cookies were easy and quick to make. The texture is very tender and the taste is so good. The addition of the maple syrup was a surprise. Took a little longer to brown, but that may be the fault of my oven. I'll make them often!

I want to make these - how do you get the rectangular cookies from the (circular?) logs - do the cookies flatten out on their own?
