How to Make Maple Cream Sandwich Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of shortening and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat 2 large eggs in a separate bowl. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons hot water to the beaten eggs. Add the wet ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 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.
- While cookies cool, prepare your maple frosting (recipe below).
- Once cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of maple frosting onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
- Enjoy your delicious homemade Maple Cream Sandwich Cookies!
