As I mentioned in a previous post, I have turned into an outright maple fiend since I have been back from Canada. It's ridiculous, I know. Lucky, I'm not the only one!
Fellow Moncton Explorer and French student Renee, and another friend of ours, Susan, gathered chez moi to recreate the maple creme sandwich cookies we found and loved during the summer, and put my leaf-shaped cookie cutters to work. The results were magical.
The recipe we used came from the blog Sweet Pea's Kitchen, which came together really well despite the fact that I forgot to add the brown sugar. Eh-hem... We substituted the frosting, with canned cream cheese icing flavored with maple extract making for a sweet and sticky delicacy fit for, well, us.
Better than the cookies was the opportunity to spend time together and catch up. The leftover cookies were shared amongst our neighbors, roommates, loved ones and our French class classmates all of whom enjoyed our maple-y handiwork. Next time, we're going to do crêpes or French Macarons!
Thanks again, ladies, for coming over, and to Christina for sharing her recipe with the world.
Until next time,
