Maple and Cinnamon go together like two peas in a pod, don't they? But they're way more delicious and decadent than peas, that's for sure.  And these Maple Cinnamon Cookies fit the decadent bill perfectly!

Maple Cinnamon Cookies are cozy and warm with a crunchy outside from the maple syrup crystallizing, and a soft, chewy cookie inside.  Maple Cinnamon Cookies are perfect for Fall, but they're also always a hit when I make them for Christmas cookies.  If you love maple, these Maple Cinnamon Cookies are a must try!

    Maple Candy is my mother in law's favorite thing of all time.. I think she will love these cookies.. And everyone could use extra points with their mother in law.. lol The recipe doesn't have a leavening agent.. is that correct? no baking powder or soda? I cant tell from the picture but are they super flat and thin? Please let me know. I will definitely be trying these out in the next week.

      Lol, that's a great idea, Shannon. I adapted this recipe from one that was for pinwheel cookies. Mine did not turn out thin and crispy, more like the consistency of soft sugar cookies or chocolate chip cookies. But if you want to be extra safe, you can add 1-2 teaspoons baking soda.

      Good luck with the mother in law 🙂
