Maple Syrup Cookies

An old Vermont recipe described as “nice to come home to.” We think they are nice to take on family car trips.

1 cup maple syrup
½ cup soft butter
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
½ cup milk
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Beat syrup and better to a cream. Add eggs, well beaten, and vanilla. Add milk alternately with flour mixed and sifted with baking powder and salt. You may roll these cookies out, but I just drop them on the greased cookie sheet and flatten with a glass dipped in milk. Bake 10-12 minutes at 400.
