Maple Wedding Cookies

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.

In Season, Summer 2017

Baseball is America's favorite pastime, and it's easy to see why at a Vermont Lake Monsters game. Home games are held at historic Centennial Field — opened in 1906, it's the oldest active ballpark in the country. These days, the small stadium draws nearly 100,000 fans each summer to watch the state's minor-league baseball team go to bat. Throughout the years, plenty of Burlington players have gone on to the majors, including Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. Buy some peanuts and Cracker Jacks, then watch team mascot Champ — a friendly green incarnation of Lake Champlain's storied monster — entertain the masses.

In Season, Spring 2017

According to the Vermont Maple Sugar Makers Association, the long history of maple syrup begins with a legend about a native chief. After returning home from hunting, the chief threw his tomahawk into the trunk of a sugar maple tree. Warmed by the spring sun, sap ran out.
