I created this recipe after tasting maple cookies with a maple glaze at a bakery in Stowe, Vermont, some years ago. I get many requests to bring them for bake sales, parties and ski trips. —Delores Day, Wolcott, Vermont

I never give 5 stars, but these were so good!! I love the maple in them, and the nuts made them perfect. The icing really added that extra maple zing, too! Will definitely make these again and again!

This was an absolutely divine recipe. I didn’t make the frosting for gifting purposes, and the cookies were wonderful without it (although I bet it would be heavenly with the extra maple kick). This is definitely going to be one of my go to recipes in the future!

Made them yesterday. Everyone loved them. I didn’t have the white chocolate chips. I made them without and made only half the frosting recipe. They were great

Easy, but way too sweet for my taste buds. I gave them to a friend who loves maple and she said "any more"?

My mom and I made these for my son's 1st birthday party- lumberjack theme. They came out great!! They were easy to make. The only issue was the icing was a little thick. We made them smaller to make more, they came out perfect. A lot of people raved about them and asked for the recipe.

What a great recipe! My husband is a huge maple fan, and this recipe passed all tests. I have a maple walnut fudge recipe that I came up with some years ago for him, and he was just as happy with these cookies. It's a keeper! Thanks!

Just made these for Christmas. My hubby loves them, but for me, they are too sweet, I would omit the vanilla chips.
