Acorn Flour Cookies
Overview:
INGREDIENTS:
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C)
In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and maple sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. In a separate bowl, whisk together acorn flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour until it reaches the right consistency.
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill in the freezer for about 2 hours, or overnight in the fridge.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to shape the cookies.
Place cookies on an ungreased baking sheet, spaced an inch apart. Bake for 23 to 26 minutes, or until the edges just begin to brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
