Maple Walnut Cut Out Cookies with Maple Icing

For as long as I can remember I’ve liked “Maple Walnut”. 

Maple walnut ice cream, wet walnut topping on hot fudge sundaes 

(which is walnuts in a maple syrup) which I made many gallons of at an ice cream shop, which was my first job. Maybe that is why I have so many ice cream memories.

Funny I really don’t like maple syrup on pancakes….hmmm

but I do like maple syrup on these cupcakes and if you like those you may like these and oh yes there is the walnut and brie appetizer that I really need to make again.

The other day my husband shared with me a bite of a maple walnut dark chocolate candy that was WONDERFUL, good thing I didn’t have a whole box full or they’d be gone!

Since that day, I’ve been dreaming of maple walnut and just had to make them into cookies.

 

more walnut favorites:

Banana Walnut Muffins with Banana Icing

Toffee with Walnuts

Frozen Banana Treat with Walnuts

and these yummy walnut cookies

I am getting a lot of use out of the Recipe Index on my site, can you tell? It’s so much easier to locate all these “hidden” treasures.

 

 

I like outlining some cookies for those who don’t prefer a lot of icing…

Since the maple extract has a beige coloring when mixed in the icing I added a few drops of white food coloring to brighten it up a bit and I’m so glad I did, the cookies had an antique white look.

oh and some minis that were so cute!

 

These were my husbands favorites, he said they reminded him of Lennox China with the details added, I had fun playing around with the remaining icing and kept piling it on 🙂 more of a haphazard way, but they turned out cute.

      2 cups powdered sugar
      2 tablespoons water
      1 tablespoon corn syrup
      1 teaspoon maple extract
      4 drops white Americolor food coloring
      Mix all until smooth and pipe onto cooled cookies with #4 tip.

    2. Hi Diane – I clicked on both links to find the baking instructions, and neither of them were showing it. Help — I’d love to make these!!

    3. Hi Patricia, I’m not sure what “links” you are clicking on. Here is the link to the post https://www.createdby-diane.com/2012/04/maple-walnut-cut-out-cookies-with-maple-icing.html The printable instructions are in pink, and have a print button. I’d love to know where the trouble is so that I can fix it. If you could let me know more details that would be great. I thought maybe you landed on a photo url and not the post, but that isn’t the case as your comment is on the post so I’m confused. Please email me [email protected] Thank you. I could not be having an issue as I’m the admin on the site. Would love to know where the problem is.

  18. Hi Diane,

    Your cookies look so pretty! How do you do the patterns on top? I’m very new to baking but would love to give an attempt 😉

    1. I place the icing in a piping bag fitted with a coupler and round tip #2 or #3. Then pipe on the icing in the desired decoration. You can find those types of supplies at baking supply stores or online.
