Maple Cream Cookie Sandwiches

 

What you need:

For the Cookies:

• 1 cup (228 g) unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup (100 g) Redpath Granulated Sugar
• 1/2 cup (100 g) Redpath Dark Brown Sugar
• 1/4 cup (50 mL) maple syrup
• 1 egg
• 3 1/4 cup (288 g) all purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp (5 g) salt

For Maple Cream Filling:

• 1/4 cup (72 g) unsalted butter
• 1/4 tsp (2.5 g) salt
• 5 tbsp (98 g) maple syrup
• 2 cups (200 g) Redpath Icing Sugar

How to prepare:

For the Cookies

1. Beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy.

 

2. Add the egg, maple syrup, and blend until combined.

 

 

3. Add the flour and salt to the butter mixture in a little at a time until a smooth dough is formed. It may help to knead the dough a little on the counter until it comes together.

 

 

4. Once combined, divide dough into two pieces and wrap each with plastic wrap. Transfer to refrigerator for about an hour or until firm.
5. Remove dough from fridge and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough and cut into shapes with cookie cutters. We used maple leaves, but feel free to use a cookie cutter of your choice.

 

7. Place cookies on parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 8 – 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool before filling with a spoonful of maple cream filling.

 

For the Maple Cream Filling:

1. Beat the butter until light and fluffy.

2. Mix the icing sugar and salt together.

3. Alternate adding a 1/2 cup of icing sugar mixture with 1 tbsp. of maple syrup to the butter until desired consistency is met.

 

  

 4. Use to fill cookies and enjoy.
