Whenever I visit friends in Lutsen, Minnesota, I make sure to buy maple syrup there because I think it's even better than in Quebec. These delicious cookies can be decorated with sprinkles but they're just fine as is.—Lorraine Caland, Shuniah, Ontario

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon maple flavoring
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
GLAZE:
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup maple syrup

Directions

In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar and cornstarch until blended. Beat in flavoring. Gradually beat in flour.
Shape dough into a disk; cover. Refrigerate until firm enough to roll, about 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 325°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-3/4-in. leaf-shaped cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets.
Bake until edges are light brown, 20-25 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
In a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar and maple syrup until smooth. Spread over cookies. Let stand until set.
