Pro Tips for the Best Maple Cookies 🔥

✔ Use real maple syrup – Imitation syrup won’t give the same depth of flavor.
✔ Don’t overbake – They’ll firm up as they cool.
✔ Make them ahead – Store unfrosted cookies for up to 3 days (add icing before serving).
✔ Freeze well – Layer between parchment paper in an airtight container.
