    Homemade Maple Drop Cookies

    Published: Sep 13, 2012 · Updated: Feb 2, 2021 by Kevin Williams | 10 Comments

    MAPLE DROP COOKIES

    This is a sweet, delicious cookie that can be enjoyed frosted or unfrosted.  Many Amish cooks have switched to less expensive maple flavoring, which is readily available in bulk food stores or regular grocery stores. But the Amish in maple syrup tapping settlements will happily substitute the fake flavoring with the real thing and so can you if you have some on hand.  Take a look at these.Yum!

      Help? Many years ago 70"S I made a cookie that was in a old Betty Crocker cookie cook book call a coco drop cookie it had buttermike and coco power. I have been trying to find it for more than 30 years now the only page missing from that book was page 9. Just trying with out hope maybe just maybe the Amish cook might have it.

        I have the recipe. It's in a copy of the Betty Crocker Cookbook from the 70's.
        Cocoa Drop Cookies
        2/3 c butter or margarine, softened
        1 c sugar
        1 egg
        1/2 c cocoa
        1/3 c buttermilk
        1 tsp vanilla
        1 3/4 c all-purpose flour
        1/2 tsp soda
        1/2 tsp salt
        1 c chopped nuts, if desired
        Chocolate or Browned Butter Icing

        Mix thoroughly butter, egg, buttermilk and vanilla. Stir in flour, soda, salt, cocoa and nuts. Cover; chill 1 hour.

        Heat oven to 400 degrees. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until almost no imprint remains when touched with finger.

        Immediately remove from baking sheet; cool.
        Frost with Chocolate Icing.
        Makes 4 1/2 dozen cookies.

      Quick question - if baking with real maple syrup, is it still 1/4 tsp? Seems like such a tiny amount.

      Thanks!

        This is a guess..I'll be trying it soon..but I am giong to use 1cup of brown sugar and 1 cup of syrup. It will be more moist,so it may take a small amount more flour. The sugar content will be the same..sugar is sugar,no matter what the form. Hope this helps!!
