Ingredients

all-purpose flour 1.5 cup

baking powder 1/4 tsp

unsalted butter (slightly softened) 0.5 cup (1 stick)

granulated maple sugar (grind if coarse) 0.5 cup

sugar 0.5 cup

large egg 1

salt 1/8 tsp

vanilla extract 1.5 tsp

powdered sugar (for dusting) to taste

MAPLE ICING (OPTIONAL): 0.5 cup maple syrup, 1/8 tsp corn syrup, about 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Prepare dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the 1.5 cups flour and baking powder; set aside. If the maple sugar is coarse, grind in a food processor to a granulated sugar texture.

Cream the butter

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the butter, maple sugar, and sugar until very light and well combined.

Mix in wet ingredients

Add the egg, salt, and vanilla extract; mix until combined.

Form the dough

Stir or fold in the flour mixture until evenly combined; the dough will be quite soft. If too soft to handle, let rest 5 to 10 minutes until slightly firmer.
