2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
Frosting Ingredients:
1/2 cup pure Brantview Farms Maple syrup
1 T butter
2 cups powdered sugar
Directions:
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Combine shortening, maple syrup and eggs. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until combined. Chill for one hour. Roll the dough out and cut into preferred shapes. Bake for 8 minutes at 375 degrees. Cool cookies.
Bring maple syrup to a boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in butter and powdered sugar, continuously stirring until frosting is spreadable. Frosting thickens as it cools.
