Homemade Maple Syrup Cookies
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 egg

- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Add the baking powder mixture last and mix until it is fully incorporated into the batter.
- Drop the batter by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake the cookies at 350 degrees until the cookies look set and are honey brown, about 10-12 minutes.
- Remove the cookies from the cookie sheet after cooling for a couple of minutes.
- The cookies will remain soft while being stored.
