Road Sign Maple Cookies

Everybody loves a good ole maple pancake, right?  How about a maple pancake flavor in a cookie? Yum!  Currently on the signature cookie for 64 to Grayson! We have them available part of the 64 to Grayson Snack pack, which includes an Ale-8, 64 to Grayson koozie, and one of these cookies!  If you want to make your own, here is how.

INGREDIENTS:

¾ Cup of Pure Sugar
1 ½ Sticks of Butter (I use salted because it’s the cheaper)
2 ¼ All Purpose Flour
½ Teaspoon of Baking Soda
2 Teaspoons of Vanilla extract
¼ Teaspoon of Maple Extract
Blue Food Coloring 
Cookie Cutter
Before beginning, let butter sit out for a little bit so it is easy to work with.   
Use your mixer to mix butter and sugar together for about a minute. 
Once mixed together well, add one egg, 2 teaspoons of vanilla, and ¼ teaspoon of maple flavoring.  Mix it up using your blender.
Then in separate bowl whisk the 2 ¼ cups of flour with the ½ teaspoon of baking powder.
  Once whisked together, start to add to the other mixture. Add about half of the mixture to your other bowl.  Mix on the lowest setting so flour doesn’t go everywhere. 
Then as it mixes, add the rest of the flour and start adding the blue food coloring.
 I just estimate the amount of food coloring based on my personal opinion, so you can do the same with yours.
Then get a sheet of parchment paper.  Wrap the dough in the paper and place in the refrigerator at chill for at least an hour. 
   Once chilled, take the dough out of the fridge. 

Use the same parchment paper to cut the dough using the cookie cutters. Grab your flour to use to put on the parchment paper so the dough doesn’t stick to the paper.  Also put flour on your hands so the dough doesn’t stick to your hands.  You can use a roller or just your hands to flatten the dough out use your cookie cutter.
Turn your oven to 350 degrees.  Once oven is warmed and your cookies sheet is full, place you cookies in the oven and let cookie for 8-11 minutes.


To Make the Icing you need the following ingredients:

Red Food Coloring
Milk
Powdered Sugar
Vanilla Extract

Simple mix the milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until you get the consistency desired.  You don't want ti too runny or it will run off the cookie, but you don't want it with chunks of powdered sugar in it either.   For the white food coloring I don't add the vanilla extract because it gives it a brownish tint that I don't want.


And here ya go folks!
Road Sign Cookies!


ENJOY!
