This Maple Shortbread Recipe makes delicate, buttery cookies infused with the woodsy sweetness of dark maple syrup.
Ingredients
- 2 cups spelt flour
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1/4 cup dark maple syrup
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350 F. Then line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whip the maple syrup and butter together until the syrup is thoroughly incorporated into the butter. Next, add the flour and salt and mix thoroughly.
- On a floured board, roll the dough into a disk and place it on a cookie sheet or preheated baking stone.

Hi, I also was wondering what the measurement was on the salt–should that be 1/4 tsp? Thanks! 🙂
How thick did you roll this out?
Hi! I was just wondering about the amount of salt needed for this recipe. The recipe simply states “1/4 Real Salt”. Is that 1/4 tsp? Just wanted to double check before trying the recipe. Thanks!
