MAPLE DROP COOKIES
This is a sweet, delicious cookie that can be enjoyed frosted or unfrosted. Many Amish cooks have switched to less expensive maple flavoring, which is readily available in bulk food stores or regular grocery stores. But the Amish in maple syrup tapping settlements will happily substitute the fake flavoring with the real thing and so can you if you have some on hand. 
Take a look at these.Yum!
2 cups brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup butter
1 /4 cup walnut pieces
1 /4 teaspoon maple flavoring
3 1 /2 cups flour

Help? Many years ago 70″S I made a cookie that was in a old Betty Crocker cookie cook book call a coco drop cookie it had buttermike and coco power. I have been trying to find it for more than 30 years now the only page missing from that book was page 9. Just trying with out hope maybe just maybe the Amish cook might have it.
Thank you I love the weekly post.
I have the recipe. It’s in a copy of the Betty Crocker Cookbook from the 70′s.

These cookies look so yummy and I love maple….and my daughter has
these same dishes that you have these cookies in…:)
Thanks for this one! As you know,Kevin,maple syrup is near and dear to my heart. I will definately be making these..soon!! Funny,I was just thinking that I need to open a new jug of syrup……
Quick question – if baking with real maple syrup, is it still 1/4 tsp? Seems like such a tiny amount.
Thanks!
This is a guess..I’ll be trying it soon..but I am giong to use 1cup of brown sugar and 1 cup of syrup. It will be more moist,so it may take a small amount more flour. The sugar content will be the same..sugar is sugar,no matter what the form. Hope this helps!!
My husband will love these!
