BROWN SUGAR MAPLE COOKIES

Adapted from Sweet Peas Kitchen. I appreciate a good cookie with my afternoon tea, especially if it is not chocolate based or decorated. I rolled the dough with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface and cut the cookies out with a 2-1/2 inch cookie cutter.  The texture of course was different but the flavour remained the same. A further variation was my choice of toppings; toasted almonds and white chocolate chips. But white chocolate chips apparently do not count. I cut it down to half a recipe; yes it is possible to divide an egg. I am not exactly sure what purpose bread flour serves in a cookie recipe, but since I had bread flour, I used it.

When she arrived, the darling child said the house smelled like freshly baked cookies. She took one look at the cookies, poured herself a glass of milk and promptly melted a handful of pure chocolate chips in the microwave. She dipped two cookies into the chocolate and ate them. I shouldn’t have tried.

Who is old enough to remember this one?
