I ended up cutting the recipe in half with the exception of the brown sugar and the maple syrup i added about a 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1 cup of brown sugar. I also rolled it out to a half inch on a cookie sheet and cut it into bars which turned out nice and chewy

Very delicious! I liked the hint of maple (I added a little extra syrup) and the crispy texture. Enjoyed by everyone who tried them.

These taste pretty good, but not at all like maple. Also, they are not suitable for cut-out cookies. I cut mine into stars and they exploded. I could not put them on my gift trays because they were so ugly. Also, too crumbly to cook them in a pan then cut into squares. Just avoid this one.

I make these quite often (they retain shapes nicly). They're also handy (sturdy) when you have to send goodies in the mail. Great flavor and nice texture (I tend to underbake these slightly).

I cut them into little maple leaf shapes, and was going to take a picture, but then my family ate them all up before I could. They didn't even last three days in the house!!

I tried this recipe again and made a few changes. I added 1/2 tsp. of maple extract to the maple syrup to add taste. Then, when the cookies were almost cooled, I glazed them with a mixture of sifted icing sugar, milk and maple extract. Use the back of a spoon to spread over cookie, then let set. These turned out wonderful! I cut them in the shape of maple leaves.

These were delicious. I cut them out with a maple leaf cookie cutter and colored the dough with orange, gold and burgundy food colors to look like fall leaves. Thanks for a great recipe.

Excellent cookies!! I made these for a friend who is a shortbread fanatic and I also made traditional Scottish shortbread. These were gone long before the traditional ones!

I made this but used almost double the brown sugar. I also cooked in a 9x13 pan for more like 30 min then cut into bars while warm and boy is this good! Especially if you like brown sugar! It ends up nice and chewy.

Will not make again. The cookies weren't very flavorful and were too crisp for my taste. I much prefer traditional shortbread.

Nice hint of maple flavour. Just watch that you don't bake too long - they get rather hard!

This recipe is very easy to make with children and they enjoy using cookie cutters to cut out various Christmas shapes, however, the baked cookies are very greasy tasting and crisper than regular shortbread. I would not make them again.
