In reply to Jess. Hi Jess! I'm glad you enjoyed them! I don't personally have experience using gluten free flour here so I can't say for sure how it would work. If you do try it I would love to know how they turn out. :)

These cookies turned out amazing! Would I be able to use a gluten free flour for this recipe as well? I have family with Celiac and would love to making them cookies for the holidays.

In reply to Emma. Hi Emma! I think browning the butter could work nicely with maple, but you may have to adjust the recipe due to the loss of moisture when browning the butter. Since I haven't personally done it I can't recommend exactly how to do it. Enjoy! :)

Would I be able to brown the butter for this recipe? Also, would that enhance or detract from the flavor?

Could I use part maple sugar and part brown?

your cookies are truly unmatched. I reduce the sugar a bit for my family

Absolutely wonderful! I started the process of the recipe and realized I forgot I was plumb out of vanilla. To add flavor to it, as a replacement, I had some IHOP butter pecan syrup on hand. So did half that and normal syrup. Came out very tasty. Will be trying it the normal way next time. Thank you again for a wonderful recipe

In reply to Jordan. Hi Jordan! I haven't tried it so I can't say for sure how it would taste. I think it could be good, but you will want to be cautious with the almond extract as it's pretty potent. Let me know how it goes if you try it. :)

In reply to Rebecca. would subbing almond extract for the maple extract result in a good flavor you think? TIA!

Wow! These are wonderful! I love a soft, chewy cookie. I added walnut pieces to half of the batch and loved both ways. I took to our family Christmas party and received many compliments and many requests for your recipe. Thank you for another favorite recipe!

Oh my goodness, these cookies are absolutely out of this world!! Soft and chewy and full of maple flavor. Don’t forget to roll them in sugar before baking as the recipe states. I will make these all year long. DELICIOUS!!! Thank you for sharing this recipe!!

Really good. Would definitely recommend not skipping the maple extract. I didn’t have any so I didn’t use it and the maple flavor was a bit subtle, but I’m sure with the extract it’s perfect. Still turned out amazing!

These cookies are so easy to make and they are always gone very quickly. The maple.extract is a must have to give these cookies the “pop” that makes them so enjoyable. I have made them.several times along with “the worst chocolate chip cookies ever” recipe and it’s a toss up which one is more popular. Thanks, Sam for all your great recipes.
