I cant decide if these taste more like french toast or a brown sugar cinnamon pop tart! Either way,
these sugar cookies are fabulous and a total hit with my family and friends. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS
COOKIES
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, slightly softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
FROSTING
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 lb. powdered sugar
2-3 tsp. maple extract
2-4 Tablespoons milk, or to desired consistency
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

375 degrees for 10-11 minutes, being careful not to over-bake.
5. To make the frosting, cream softened butter with 1 cup of the powdered sugar and then slowly
add in the rest.
