Maple Cookies

My son and I baked these simple maple cookies on the weekend. He just recently celebrated his 25^th birthday and he got a gift tray full of baking stuff from his friends. The gift includes a non-stick baking mat which we used to bake the cookies on.  We found the recipe online and after reading some reviews, we decided to use maple extract instead of vanilla to give more maple flavor to the cookies. The cookies came out soft, chewy and plain looking. We like them simple but if you prefer, you may glaze them with some icing. Have these cookies with milk, coffee or tea. Enjoy!
