For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of softened butter. Allow the browned butter to cool and solidify slightly before creaming it with the maple syrup. A touch of maple extract (1/2 teaspoon) can enhance the maple flavor. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For a festive touch, sprinkle the flattened cookies with coarse sugar or chopped nuts before baking.
