8. For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and enough milk to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
9. Once the cookies are cool, drizzle or spread the glaze over each cookie. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
For a nutty twist, add a handful of finely chopped pecans or walnuts to the cookie dough. If you have kids who aren’t keen on nuts, sprinkle some colorful sugar crystals on top of the glaze before it sets to make the cookies more fun and festive. For those looking to reduce sugar, try using a sugar substitute that measures cup-for-cup with regular sugar. Lastly, for a tangy flavor, add a splash of lemon juice to the glaze.
