    This is a great cookie just like this, but knowing me, I'd find some frosting to add!

    Believe it or not we are approaching - and in some cases are at - maple syrup season. I hear the season is getting off to an early start in some places.  That means Amish sugarers in "hot spots" like the Conewango Valley and Geauga County, Ohio are dusting off their sap buckets and Amish cooks are preparing to church out tasty treats like these deliciously soft, sweet homemade maple cookies. Yum!  This recipe, by the way, comes to us from an Amish woman in the Conewango Valley.

      I'm a little baffled by the "milk campaignicon" ingredient in the maple syrup cookies. First time I've ever come across this ingredient. Care to explain this?

        Odd, my screen just says 1 tablespoon of milk...that is the only milk in the recipe.

      I think your first ingredient is meant to read 1 tsp. baking soda -- am I correct?
