Maple Shortbread 

These cookies will literally melt in your mouth

Maple Shortbread

2 cups butter, softened
1 cup maple sugar
1 tsp Watkins Maple Extract.  (If you cannot find maple sugar you can use extra Maple Extract)
1/2 cup cornstarch
3 cups flour


Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly grease your cookie sheets or use Watkins cooking spray.
Using an  hand held electric mixer, cream the butter, sugar and maple extract until very creamy.  Gradually beat in the flour and cornstarch.  Beat the batter until it looks like slightly over beaten whipped cream.  About 10 minutes.    Drop the batter by heaping a generous tablespoon on to the prepared cookie sheets.  It the batter sticks to the spoon slightly grease it and dust it with cornstarch.   Add a walnut piece into the middle of each cookie.   Bake the cookies for approximately 15 minutes.    Remove the cookies when they start to brown on the bottom.   While the cookies are still hot from the oven sprinkle a little of the maple sugar on top of each cookie.     Let the cookies cool for at least  10 minutes before transferring them on to a plate.
