Maple Oatmeal Drop Cookies

This recipe came from a "Maple Sampler" cookbook by Jan Siegrist. A friend gave me the book forever ago and I just started working my way through it. Though I got a little less than the suggested yield, these cookies came out beautifully - soft and chewy and just the right amount of sweetness!
