I don't know what it is about maple syrup that makes me want to lick my lips whilst smiling profusely and looking like a bit of an idiot. Obviously there are few things better in the world than a steaming plate of thick and fluffy scotch pancakes drenched in maple syrup, but for those times when you want something to snack on that's still going to give you that hit of sweet syrupy goodness, these cookies are definitely for you.
