Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup maple sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups frozen peaches, in quarters
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (preferably amber syrup, for its rich flavour)
  • Fine maple sugar

Method

  1. Use an electric mixer to beat the butter and maple sugar together in a bowl. Add the egg and half the vanilla, and continue to beat until smooth.
  2. Incorporate the whole-wheat flour, then the milk. Use a wooden spoon to mix in the all-purpose flour.
  3. Shape the dough into 2 rounds, seal in plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  4. Meanwhile, put the peaches, maple syrup, and the rest of the vanilla into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
  5. Break up the fruit with an immersion blender or food processor to obtain a jam that’s more-or-less smooth. Set aside.
  6. Preheat oven to 180° C (350° F).
  7. On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll the cookie dough to a thickness of 3 mm (1/8 in).
  8. Cut out 24 cookies with a 6.25 cm (2 1/2 in) diameter cookie-cutter.
  9. Gather the leftover dough and scraps, and roll it out.
  10. Cut another 24 cookies with the 6.25 cm (2 1/2 in) cookie-cutter. Cut a hole in the centre of each with a 4.5 cm (1 3/4 in) cookie-cutter. Gather the dough from the holes, roll out, and cut into mini-cookies.
  11. Place all your cookies on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake 10 – 12 minutes or until they’re lightly golden. Cool on racks.
  12. Spread a spoonful of jam on each of the solid cookies and set the hole-in cookies on top.
  13. Pair up the mini-cookies, spreading a little jam on one and setting the other on top.
  14. Sprinkle all with the fine maple sugar.

More about Maple

Maple syrup comes in four classifications, according to colour and taste.

At the start of sugaring season, syrup is generally clear, with a lightly sweet taste. It becomes darker and caramelized as the season goes on.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years.

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

100% pure maple butter contains no butter or dairy.

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple butter comes from the sap of the maple tree… and that’s all.
