These maple sandwich cookies are a favorite of mine that I love making when I want something special but don't have all day in the kitchen. The whole process takes just thirty five minutes from start to finish, making them perfect for a quick treat or last minute gift. Pure maple syrup is the star ingredient here, and beyond giving these cookies their wonderful warmth and depth of flavor, it also contains antioxidants and minerals like manganese that you won't find in regular sugar. Best of all, these cookies come together with pantry staples you probably already have on hand, so there's no need for a special grocery trip.
