This is the best maple cookie I have ever had! I loved it so much, just the way it is, I tried it with orange extract as well as vanilla. The maple is the best, but the others are great as well. Thanks so much for the recipe!

Don't know what happened, but my cookies didn't come out looking smooth & rounded like the picture accompanying the recipe. When I dropped them by the spoonful, they came out "jagged". Next time, I think after cooling in the frig, I would roll them into balls like ginger cookies. They also are very sweet. I did not have a problem with the frosting hardening up, it stayed very spreadable. Overall, pretty good.

Surprisingly, even with a tablespoon of maple flavoring in the cookies, they don't have a real strong maple flavor. But with the maple frosting, these are very good. The cookies are soft and cake-like and the frosting is delish. My frosting did start to harden a little, so I left it on the stove on very low to keep it spreadable.

I liked the cookie very much. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the directions. I was not sure the icing was correct. The directions were vague. I ended up with a hard praline topping. I like it myself but I wish it would have warned it would harden so quickly,or I made it wrong. Yes, it was cake like but that's how I like mine.

Made exactly as recipe stated. Mine came out a bit darker in color, I think it is because of the maple flavoring I used. After frosting them, I dusted them with icing sugar...look fabulous and will hand out for Christmas gifts! Thanks for recipe!!! This will be a annual recipe!

I only used the frosting recipe to frost donuts, but I had to add more maple flavoring because it tasted too much like confectioner's sugar when made how it is listed above. It is really up to your taste how much maple you use, but it turns out just like the frosting on maple bars at the donut shop. Good consistency!

My family loves these cookies. This recipe came from Betty Crocker's "Cooky" Cookbook. I make the frosting a little thin and then dip the cookies in the frosting. The frosting dries nicely firm. It is much easier and faster to frost this way.

My family really enjoyed these cookies. The kids loved them because they were very cake like. My husband and I agree that they were good but a little too cake like for us. We did not have nuts but we will definately add them next time. The dough worried me at first because it was so sticky but the final result was good. The maple frosting definately makes the cookie so dont try them without it. We will make these again.
