If you read my story this week about spending at day at Vermont Cake Studio, perhaps I've inspired you to reach for your mixing bowls and bust out your own layer-cake masterpiece.
...Or not.
If the thought of fooling around with fondant is just too much, you're in luck. VCS owner and pastry chef Perrin Williams (pictured) was kind enough to share her recipe for Maple Wedding Cookies with us. Satisfy that sweet tooth without any of the sweat. These cookies are really great — and I don't even like maple. (Telltale sign of a nonnative Vermonter.) Try 'em out.
Maple Wedding Cookies
recipe from Perrin Williams, Vermont Cake Studio
1/2 pound butter
3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon maple extract
2 and 1/4 cup flour
1 cup pecans or walnuts, finely chopped
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Add the maple extract. Add flour and mix. Add nuts; stir.
Scoop the dough into heaping tablespoons and place on the cookie sheet. Flatten the balls down a little.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until just colored, and firm enough to hold its shape when picked up.
Let cool and dip in confectioner's sugar.

Since 2014, Seven Days has allowed readers to comment on all stories posted on our website. While we’ve appreciated the suggestions and insights, the time has come to shut them down — at least temporarily.
While we champion free speech, facts are a matter of life and death during the coronavirus pandemic, and right now Seven Days is prioritizing the production of responsible journalism over moderating online debates between readers.
