Maple cookies

I recently came across the blog Eat Make Read and instantly became a fan. Upon seeing the post on maple glazed cookies from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food (November 2009), I had to try it.

3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon coarse salt + 2 Tablespoons for sprinkling on top
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup and 1 cup pure maple syrup
2 large egg yolks

Preheat oven to 350 C. Sift flour and salt. In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add 1/2 cup maple syrup and egg yolks. Beat in flour mixture. Drop batter 3-inches apart onto to baking sheets with parchment paper and flatten. Bake 12-15 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Reduce 1 cup maple syrup to 3/4 cup and spoon over cooled cookies. Sprinkle with salt.
