These are my sister’s favorite cookies — and for good reason! Mom’s love language was knowing your favorite dessert, and these were always baked with that kind of love.

Soft and cake-like, each cookie is topped with a smooth maple frosting that adds just the right touch of sweetness. The brown sugar gives them a cozy, caramel warmth, while the hint of maple makes every bite taste like comfort. Simple, delicious, and made with love — just the way Mom would have wanted.

*These cookies are made with sour cream.
