Previously, I had made these rustic burlap valances in the Fall, just for fun.

They were fine for then, but it was time for something a little more polished.Of course these cookies still have quite a bit of sugar in them, but the sweetness from the maple syrup is so much better than the huge amount of white sugar that the original recipe had!

I’ve tried this recipe with honey too and I liked it, but it wasn’t Kennedy’s favorite because she’s not much of a honey girl..What kind of a monster am I raising over here?

Anyway, we go the maple syrup route for this recipe now..Try it out if you find yourself feeling like a bit of a chocoholic this Summer!.
