- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

- Spread or drizzle maple icing over cooled cookies.
Notes
- For a stronger maple flavor, use maple extract instead of maple syrup.
- Ensure cookies are completely cool before icing to prevent melting.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them soft and fresh.
