Nothing says Canada quite like maple! Local maple syrup sweetens these easy buttery cookies and is used in the decorative glaze.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a bowl cream together the butter, shortening and the white & brown sugars.
Add the eggs, beat to combine.
Add the vanilla and maple syrup.
In a separate bowl combine the flour, salt and baking powder.
Fold the flour mixture into the butter/sugar mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
Mix in the candied ginger if using.
Roll the cookie dough into balls about a teaspoon or so. Roll the balls in the maple sugar to coat then place on the prepared baking tray about an inch apart. Continue with the remaining dough.
Chill the cookies in the fridge or freezer for about half an hour so the butter firms up.
When oven in preheated, bake cookies 12 to 15 minutes until just set and lightly golden around the edges.
Allow to cool 5 minutes before transferring to a baking rack.
Make a glaze by combining ½ cup icing sugar with 2 Tbsp maple syrup. Thin with water if needed. Drizzle over the baked cookies.
