Maple Oatmeal Cookies


If you're looking for a slightly different take on your oatmeal cookie recipe, you'll want to try these Maple Oatmeal Cookies.

Just be forwarned that the recipe calls for pure maple syrup because imitation maple-flavored syrup just won't do them justice!

Pure maple syrup is made from the sap of maple trees which is heated to evaporate the excess water leaving the pure concentrated syrup behind.

Maple syrup is also graded according to how dense and translucent it is.

In the United States, maple syrup is either graded as Grade A or Grade B. The Grade A syrups tend to be lighter in color with a milder flavor.

The state of Vermont is the leading maple syrup producer in the U.S.

The imitation maple-flavored pancake syrups usually do not contain any pure maple syrup and the main ingredient is often high fructose corn syrup.

For the best results with these cookies, you'll definitely want to use pure maple syrup instead of the less expensive pancake or waffle syrup.

Testimonials

"I have been researching and trying a number of recipes to make a healthy cookie similar to one that our Gym coffee shop sells for $3.50! This particular recipe was adapted so instead of bars I made thick round cookies and cooked them just underdone so they were soft and chewy. They were a hit with all the girls. Thanks for the great recipe."

Thanks,
