How to Make Autumn Maple Sugar Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add ½ cup packed brown sugar and continue creaming.
- Beat in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon pure maple extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Decorate with sanding sugar or festive sprinkles.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
