Maple Cinnamon Cookies

I love maple syrup. So, when I found this recipe in Mom's recipe box, I knew I had to try it. The cookies are very delicious. They remind MDS of his Grandma's snickerdoodle cookies, which is probably a result of the cinnamon. The cookies are soft and chewy. As a result of the maple syrup, the cookies are slightly sticky, so use wax paper between layers to keep them from sticking together.

This recipe is simple. The dough is made in advance, formed into a log and refrigerated. When you are ready to make the cookies, just slice the dough and brush with maple syrup. I had some extra syrup, so I brushed it on after the cookies came out of the oven to give them some extra maple flavor.
