- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (90°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Gently fold in the maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract without deflating the mixture.
- Use a piping bag or spoon to dollop small mounds onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart as they will spread slightly.
- Bake for about 1.5 hours until dry and crisp but not browned. Turn off the oven and leave cookies to cool inside.
