When it comes to cookies, I'm pretty much an expert! So you can trust me completely when I tell you that these thin and chewy maple sugar cookies are the bomb!

These thin and chewy maple sugar cookies with sweet maple glaze are sure to be a hit this fall!

Hey there! In case we haven't met, I'm Kristine from Kristine in between and I love cookies. So naturally, I'm stopping by to share one of my very favorite small-batch cookie recipes with you today!

I had a really tough time deciding which recipe though, because to be totally honest, I have about three-gazillion favorites; I know, it's it's borderline ridiculous, really. But, I finally decided these thin and chewy maple sugar cookies were the obvious choice. Because it's fall and because, well, you need them.

These thin and chewy maple sugar cookies are the perfect cookie with a sweet maple glaze!

I've baked a whole-heck-of-a-lot of cookies in my day; everything from simple Coconut chocolate chip cookies to festive Pecan Praline cookies and I never, ever get sick of cookies. Nope. I do; however, run out of ideas and I have to get creative when I'm brainstorming new recipes though. Actually, that's how these thin and chewy maple sugar cookies came to be!

You'll love these small-batch thin and chewy maple sugar cookies!

Sugar cookies happen to be my favorite of the cookie varieties; I don't know why, I'm just a plain Jane kinda gal I guess. That and I truly appreciate the simplicity of a good sugar cookie.

But...you can always improve on a good thing right? Precisely. So if I were to add maple syrup and a sweet maple glaze to my plain old sugar cookies, they would become something even better, wouldn't they? You bet they would!

These small-batch thin and chewy maple sugar cookies are quick and easy to make and are completely delicious!

Wa-la! With just a few changes and a few added ingredients, it's a whole new cookie! And just so you know, these little cookies have the best texture; they're chewy in the center and crispy on the outside. They also have just the perfect hint of maple in the frosting, which is hands down my favorite part.

As I mentioned above, this is a small-batch recipe (which most of mine are, it's kinda my thing - wink), so it only makes about 2 dozen cookies per batch, but if you're feeling really hungry, you can easily just double the recipe and make more!

If you have a list going for all the things you want to bake this fall (me!), don't forget to add these thin and chewy maple sugar cookies, they're sure to become a favorite!
