Looking for a great roll out cookies for holiday decorating? use the Maple Leaf Cookie recipe and change the maple syrup to light Karo syrup. They are not too sweet so adding frosting and extras make them delicious. -
Excellent!! Very mild maple flavor. I was worried b/c there is no egg, but it works beautifully. You do have to refrigerate the dough. It is a bit sticky at first, but rolls and cuts beautifully. I made my own glaze b/c I wanted to decorate my cookies.
