Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, cinnamon, and butter.
Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed until the dough begins to form pea-sized balls.
Add ¼ cup maple syrup, egg, and maple flavoring and mix again just until combined and dough can be formed into a ball.
Chill dough for 30 minutes to an hour.
Roll chilled dough in small balls (about an inch to an inch-and-a-half). Drop in a mixture of 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and roll the cookie ball until fully coated in sugar.
Place 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Make a criss cross pattern on the cookies with a fork to flatten them.
Lightly brush the cookies with the remaining maple syrup using a pastry brush.
