How to Make Maple Spice Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) shortening, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in ½ cup maple syrup and 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
- Pour ½ cup granulated sugar onto a sheet of wax paper.
- Roll the dough into 1 ½-inch balls. Roll each ball in the granulated sugar to coat the top.
- Place the sugar-coated dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set. Do not overbake!
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
