Gingery Maple Thins

Test Kitchen Discoveries

• Maple syrup and pancake syrup may look similar, but they are worlds apart when it comes to taste. Use only real maple syrup for this recipe.
• Adding both maple syrup and maple extract added extra of maple flavor to our cookies.
• Using the underside of a glass to flatten the cookies in the baking pan ensures they will cook through easily and uniformly.
• The cookies will spread out as they bake, so be sure to leave enough space for them to expand (2 inches or more) without running into each other.
