Chocolate Maple Cookies
My aunt made these one year for Christmas, and my husband ate about a dozen. Since he liked them so much, I asked for the recipe and have made them often.

Reviews
These cookies are very soft, but they didn't puff up like in the picture. They were very flat and they had a very weak maple taste. They did taste good, just kinda plain and not what I was expecting since they were called Chocolate Maple Cookie. If I decide to make them again, maybe I'll double up on the maple flavoring and make a few other adjustments to see what happens.
I didn't find these very "mapley" tasting at all. I even added more before baking and still were very bland.
My daughter says, "These cookies are awesome!" and our whole family agrees. We made them for a Christmas party and there were gone in an instant.
