Chewy Maple Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (if using dark or nonstick pan, heat oven to 325°F). Lightly grease bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or spray with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, beat brown sugar, butter, maple flavor and egg with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt and 1/2 cup of the almonds. Pat dough in pan with lightly floured fingers.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir all Maple Icing ingredients until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle cooled bars with Maple Icing; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup almonds. Let stand 5 minutes or until set. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
• In a mixing bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg, syrup, and vanilla until well mixed.
• Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture to the creamed mixture. Stir in coconut. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2-inches apart onto greased baking sheets.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 10-12 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with a hand mixer), cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. With the mixer running on low speed, add the maple syrup in a slow, steady stream and mix to combine.
• Scrape the bowl well, then add the egg and mix on medium speed until the mixture is well combined. Beat in the vanilla.
• Add the flour, baking powder and fine salt to the mixer and pulse until it starts to combine, then scrape the bowl well and mix on low speed until uniformly combined. Add the pecans and mix until evenly incorporated.
• Scoop the dough into 2 tablespoon-size rounds on the prepared baking sheets, staggering the rows and leaving at least 1 1/2 inches between each cookie to allow room to spread. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on the surface of each cookie. Transfer to the oven and bake until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool before serving.

Steps:

• In a mixing bow, cream sugar and shortening. Add syrup and egg and beat well. Combine flour and baking powder; add to creamed mixture. Add vanilla and mix well. Stir in oats and walnuts. Pour into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes. Cut into squares while warm. Cool on a wire rack.
