Steps:
- Sift flour and salt into a medium bowl. Beat butter and granulated and brown sugars with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and creamy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low, and add yolk, then 1/2 cup maple syrup, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture, and beat until just incorporated. Shape into 2 disks, wrap each in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 2 days).
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll out 1 disk of dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a sheet of lightly floured parchment. Place parchment with dough on baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Coat baking sheets with cooking spray, line with parchment, and coat parchment. Cut out cookies from frozen dough using a 3 1/2-inch maple-leaf-shaped cutter, and space 1 inch apart on sheets. Roll and cut scraps once. Freeze cookies until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Bake cookies until edges begin to turn golden, 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer parchment with cookies to wire racks, and let cool for 5 minutes. Brush cookies with 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and sprinkle with 1/2 the sanding sugar. Let cool. Repeat with remaining dough, maple syrup, and sugar. (Cookies will keep for up to 2 days.)

Steps:
- In a standing electric mixer cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy and beat in maple syrup and egg yolk until mixture is combined well. Sift together salt and flour over mixture and fold in thoroughly. Chill dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, about 2 hours. Dough may be made 4 days ahead and chilled.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Divide dough in half. Keeping one half chilled, lightly flour other half and on a lightly floured surface gently pound with a rolling pin to soften. Roll out dough 1/8 inch thick and with a 3-inch floured maple-leaf cookie cutter cut out cookies, chilling scraps. Arrange cookies on buttered baking sheets and if desired, with back of a knife, mark cookies decoratively. Make more cookies in same manner with remaining dough and with all the scraps pressed together.
- Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven until edges are golden, about 12 minutes, and transfer to racks to cool. Cookies keep in airtight containers 1 week.
MAPLE LEAF COOKIES
These tasty cookies are perfect for a Canada Day celebration-and the rest of the year as well, says Lynda Harnish of Pembroke, Ontario. "I make big batches at Christmas time for my family," she relates. "We can't get enough of them."

MAPLE MARBLED LEAF COOKIES
Wherever you serve them, people are likely to fall for these cookies, and it's no wonder why: They're absolutely autumnal all the way through. The cookie dough gets a jump start from Betty's perfect sugar cookie mix before buttery maple extract and warm cinnamon are added. Cutting cookies into leaf shapes is fun and easy-use any shape you like, or make an assortment!-and the final step is to add a little fall color. Dipping cookies in a bowl of marbled red, orange and yellow frosting is not only easy-all you need is a container of Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting and some food color-but it also leaves each cookie with a unique pattern and smooth bakery-style frosting.

MAPLE LEAF SUGAR COOKIES
Perfect for Fall. Cookies to make between Halloween and Thanksgiving. I use my Maple Leaf cookie cutters, and even make a few with my Oak Leaf cutter. I believe the secret to this recipe is to use pure maple syrup. I count chilling time in with the prep time.

Steps:
- Measure 3 cups of sifted flour and salt into sifter.
- Set aside. (I put the sifter on the flour tin lid, so I won't loose the flour that comes through before I sift into the other ingredients.).
- Beat softened butter and the two sugars until light and creamy. (medium high speed on electric mixer).
- Reduce speed and add egg yolk until well blended.
- Add 1/2 cup maple syrup and mix until blended.
- Remove beaters and now use a wooden spoon.
- Slowly sift flour into bowl mixing with wooden spoon, until just well blended.
- Divide dough into thirds and make each 1/3 into a flat disc.
- Place on sheets of floured wax paper, with well floured hands.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight to thoroughly chill dough.
- Take discs from refrigerator and roll out to 1/8" to 1/4" thickness, and put in freezer to firm for about 15 minutes. (this makes it easier to handle the cut cookies).
- Preheat oven to 325°.
- Line cookie sheets with foil and spray lightly with vegetable cooking spray.
- Cut cookies from chilled dough and bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness of cookie.
- Move cookies to wire rack and brush with maple syrup (this is the other 1/2 cup of syrup) and sprinkle with sanding sugar. (I use red, yellow, and green sanding sugars, although the white is lovely too.).
- Place in tin or serving plate when cool.

AUTUMN MAPLE LEAF COOKIES
From Martha Stewart. These are YUMMY! And unlike some of her recipes, they are really easy. I make them in big batches as fall gifts (great for Thanksgiving teacher's gifts). Be sure to use real maple syrup- none of that fake junk

Steps:
- Cream butter and sugar together.
- Add 1/2 cup of maple syrup and egg yolk, mix well.
- Sift in flour and salt, combine well.
- Divide dough in half and wrap in plastic wrap and chill about 2 hours (this makes rolling and cutting the cookies possible. If you skip the chilling step you will have a huge mess when you try to roll them out!).
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Roll dough 1/8 inch thick and cut with cookie cutters (leaf shapes are the most fun!).
- Place on baking sheet (ungreased is fine).
- Bake apx 12 minutes.
- Cool on pan about 5 minutes and move to wire rack (leave them too long and they will stick!).
- To make glaze- combine 1/2 cup maple syrup and 2 cups powdered sugar (be sure to sift the powdered sugar if you don't want lumpy glaze!). You can dip, drizzle or pipe on the glaze. You can easily cut the glaze in half- it makes a lot!
