I should have made these last week. Maple is a fitting flavour to enjoy for Canada Day but whatever, I’m not regretting my decision to make Strawberry Shortcake. Last night, I was craving cookies but was out of chocolate chips, peanut butter, oatmeal…all my usual ingredients that go in to a cookie. But I had maple syrup (what good Canadian girl doesn’t?) and remembered a recipe in Vegan with a Vengeance that I’ve been meaning to bake since I got the book two years ago-Maple Walnut Cookies.
I nixed most of the walnuts, (because well, I was getting low on walnuts) instead I just topped them with a walnut halve after drizzling them with Creamy Maple Frosting from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. They turned out delicious, soft and chewy cookies with lots of maple flavour and the frosting was unbelievable, it was so thick and easy to work with. I never have that much luck with frostings. Ever. I’m definitely trying out the maple cupcakes that accompany the frosting recipe one day. Maybe for a more fitting time, the next time Canada needs celebrating?
I LOVE how you drizzled the frosting over those Maple Walnut Cookies – gorgeous!!
I think your frostings always look amazing, whatchoo talkin’ about?
I’ve been meaning to try those cookies too! They look especially delicious with the frosting!
Mmm! Yes, please!
Oh yum! You’ve inspired me to make these for a potluck tomorrow! Great pic.
Those look so good!! I love the icing from VctotW and have been wanting to try the cookies.
canada high five! don’t you love how it’s not insane expensive to use maple syrup around here? and also, the fact that you *iced* your cookies is just awesome. ^o^
Those are BEAUTIFUL cookies!! Yum!
one word – WOW – another note, do you do personal deliveries by any chance :0)
I think I’ll have a late Canada Day celebration now! I love the way the frosting squiggles over the entire cookie—YUM!
Sounds pretty tasty!
Those are gorgeous cookies! I’ll have to save the recipe for NEXT Canada Day. . .
The only thing that can make a cookie better is frosting! Thank god for Canada and all that wonderful maple syrup!
Wow. These look and sound delicious!
three words.
oh hell yeah.
Wow, I think I have been staring at these for quite a while now. They look absolutely adorable!
I can’t stop looking at the photo! What a delicious idea to top the cookie with maple frosting. They look so warm and soft and chewy, mmmm (if you can’t tell already, I’m obsessed with cookies)!
Those cookies look amazing…what is the maple frosting made out of?

Thanks everyone!
Jarreau-the frosting’s slightly different than your average frosting as it uses soymilk powder instead of icing sugar, it’s reallllly good!
Oh wow, that picture has my stomach grumbling. I love maple! (Of course, I’m Canadian as well). I’d wash these down with a cold Canadian beer, of course.
