Equipment

1 2-3" Maple Leaf cookie cutter

Ingredients

1 cup butter softened
⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
½ tsp maple extract
2 cups flour
2 TBSP sugar

Maple Buttercream Filling:

¼ cup butter softened
1 cup powered sugar
½ tsp maple extract
3-4 tsp milk

Instructions

Dough: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup butter, whipping cream and ½ tsp maple extract; blend well. Stir in flour until well mixed.
Divide dough in half; shape each half into flattened disk. Wrap each in plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 hour.
Prep: Once the dough has been chilled for an hour, get the oven preheating to375°F.
Shape: On a lightly floured surface, roll half of the dough to ⅛ inch thickness. Keep the remaining half of dough refrigerated. Cut the dough with the 2-inch maple-leaf cookie cutter and place each leaf 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookies sheet.
Sprinkle each cookie with sugar. After that prick each cookie 3 or 4 times with a fork. Repeat with the other half of the cookie dough, re-rolling left over dough, until it all has been used.
Bake: Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until slightly puffed and edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely.
Filling: In small bowl, blend filling ingredients adding enough milk for the icing to be able to spread easily; beat until smooth. Spread about 1 tsp filling between 2 cooled cookies. Press cookies together gently to seal sandwiches. Enjoy!
