Jump to Comments

INGREDIENTS
1 cup butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
2 teaspoons water
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped almonds, pecans or walnuts
1/2 cup crushed Heath Bar candy
2 cup powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS
Cream the butter and sugar in a medium sized bowl. Stir in vanilla, syrup and water. Add the flour, nuts and candy. Mix well. Cover and chill for at least an hour.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Shape dough into balls. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet about an inch apart and bake for 15 minutes or until light golden brown. While cookies are baking, pour half of your powdered sugar into an oblong pan. Once cookies are done, let them cool for 2 minutes. Then place them into your pan of powdered sugar and cover with the rest of the sugar. Let them cool and don’t eat too many! For best results, store them in an airtight container.
