| Aunt Matty's Maple Joys |
Featured in The Gus Saunders Yankee Kitchen Cookbook, v. XIII, 1979
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar, packed
2 cups unsifted all purpose flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 egg, beaten
2 TB milk
1 tsp. maple flavoring
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. ground ginger
In a large bowl at medium speed, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. At low speed, add flour and mix well. Set aside 1/3 cup of flour mixture. Add oats, egg, milk, maple flavoring, baking soda and salt and mix well. Shape into 1inch balls. Stir ginger into 1/3 cup reserved flour mix and roll balls into the mixture.
Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake in preheated 375 F oven for 10-12 minutes. Makes 6 dozen.
I added a colorful maple glaze for a festive look.
