- While still mixing, slowly drizzle in the maple syrup.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, spice/s, and salt. You can use whatever combination of spices sounds good to you, or none at all for a pure maple flavor.

- Arrange cookies on baking sheets and bake for 8 to 11 minutes each, or until lightly golden at the edges.
- Transfer to racks to cool. Cookies will keep in an airtight container for 1 week.
