14 1 Review Creating an acorn shape from cookie dough is surprisingly easy. 1:00 Prep Time 3:30 Total Time 36 cookies Ingredients Cookie3/4 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened1/2 cup sugar1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar1 large Land O Lakes® Egg1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon maple flavoring1 3/4 cups all-pupose flour SugarDecorations8 ounces chocolate-flavored candy coating 1/2 cup sliced almonds Directions Combine all cookie ingredients except flour and additional sugar in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Add flour; beat at low speed until well mixed. Divide dough into thirds. Shape each third into ball; flatten slightly. Wrap each in plastic food wrap; refrigerate 1 hour.Heat oven to 350°F. Working with one-third of dough at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten and shape balls into 2-inch acorns; squeeze bottom ends to form acorn tips. Roll 1/8 teaspoon dough into log shape; attach at top of acorn shape for stem. Repeat with each acorn. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to cooling racks; cool completely.Place large sheet of waxed paper onto counter. Place candy coating in 2-quart saucepan; cook over low heat until melted. Dip tops of cooled cookies into chocolate, place onto waxed paper. Immediately place almonds on chocolate to resemble acorn cap. Let stand about 1 hour until chocolate is set. Store between sheets of waxed paper in loosely covered containers to prevent sticking. Recipe Tips - Make sure cookie sheets are cool and cookies are all the same thickness and size. This will ensure uniform cookies and even browning.

Recipe Comments and Reviews Sort by: Reviews General Comments View All » Rating Personally, I'm not a fan of nuts in my cookies, so next time I think I would skip those. But, the maple cookie itself was SO yummy! It's classic, but the maple gives it a twist of uniqueness that I would definitely make again.
