    These Spritz Cookies with Maple Cinnamon Sugar burst with the sweet flavors of fall. And they're made in fun fall shapes. Perfect for after school snacks!

    Spritz Cookies with Maple Cinnamon Sugar recipe on UrbanBlissLife.com

    After a fun, adventure-filled summer, I'm SO ready for fall! 

    As of today, both kids are back in school. Fifth and eighth grade! How did that happen so fast?!

    I love baking up yummy treats that my kids and their friends can enjoy after school, and today's recipe is one that I know will be a regular in our home baking rotation. I hope you will try it and love it just as much as we all do, too!

    What makes these Spritz Cookies so special?

    Baking a Difference: Cookies for Kids' Cancer

    For this recipe, I am so excited to be partnering up with one of my longtime favorite kitchen brands, OXO.

    For the fourth year in a row, I have worked with them to create a new recipe for the Cookies for Kids' Cancer campaign. It really is an honor to do something I love for an AMAZING cause. This campaign especially hits home this year as we personally know two amazing young girls who are currently dealing with cancer.

    OXO is donating $100 to Cookies for Kids' Cancer for this Baking a Difference blog post. The company has committed to donating up to $100,000 to the organization this year.

    For this year's OXO Good Cookie recipe, I've created Maple Cinnamon Sugar Spritz Cookies.

    My 13-year-old son declared these cookies as "the best cookies you've ever made!" 

    My 10-year-old daughter (my toughest recipe critic) heartily gave two thumbs up and kept eating more. 

    These Maple Cinnamon Sugar Spritz Cookies are THAT delicious, my friends!

    Tools and Equipment

    OXO cookie press

    My baking toolkit is enormous and keeps growing, and OXO is honestly one of the brands that I always turn to for solid, reliable, long-lasting kitchen tools.

    Here are a few notes about the products I used in creating this recipe:

    • Non-Stick Pro Cookie Sheet - this is an awesome baking sheet to add to your kitchen. It features a unique micro-textured pattern that ensures even baking.
    • A good cookie spatula - to make lifting the cookies off of the baking sheet even easier.
    • OXO Cookie Press

    Ingredients

    Spritz Cookies with Maple Cinnamon Sugar on a plate
    • Butter 
    • Packed Brown Sugar
    • Egg
    • Maple Syrup
    • Vanilla Extract
    • All-Purpose Flour
    • Baking powder
    • Ground cinnamon
    • Salt
    • Granulated sugar

    How to make these Spritz Cookies with Maple Cinnamon Sugar

    Spritz Cookies with Maple Cinnamon Sugar recipe on UrbanBlissLife.com
    • Start by creaming the softened butter in a stand mixer, then add brown sugar and cream together with the butter until the mixture is light and fluffy.
    • Slowly add in the egg, maple syrup, and vanilla and beat until well blended.
    • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
    • Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and beat until just blended. Chill just slightly in the fridge for 5-10 minutes, until it's thick enough to create shapes using the cookie press.  
    • Outfit your cookie press with your favorite shapes (I made leaves, spiders, and pumpkins), and press dough into the cookie press container following the manufacturer instructions. Press out the shaped dough onto an ungreased, cold cookie sheet.
    • Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over each cookie.
    • Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes, just until the sides and bottoms of each cookie are light brown.

    Recipe FAQs

    Spritz Cookie dough on a baking sheet
    What are some tips on how to use a cookie press?

    Using a cookie press is a great way to add fun and creativity to your baking. Here are some handy tips:

    -Make sure you are using a cold, clean, dry and ungreased baking sheet. I place mine in the refrigerator while I am making the dough.
    -Don't overfill the cookie press canister.
    -Dough should be somewhat soft. Only refrigerate the dough just until it's thick enough to press shapes through.
    -Only use cookie recipes that are meant specifically for a cookie press. Dough shouldn't have items that can get stuck in the cookie press disks, such as chocolate chips or nuts.

    PRINT PIN RATE

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup butter softened
    • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
    • 1 egg
    • ⅓ cup maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    • Using a stand mixer, cream the softened butter on low for 1 minute. Scrap off sides. Add brown sugar and cream together with the butter for approximately 2 minutes, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
    • Slowly add in the egg, maple syrup, and vanilla and beat until well blended (about 1 minute).
    • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and salt.
    • Slowly add dry mixture to the wet mixture and beat until just blended. The dough will be soft. Chill just slightly in the fridge for 5-10 minutes, when it's thick enough to create shapes using the cookie press. Still too soft? Chill for another 5-10 minutes until it's ready to press through (but make sure it's not fully chilled!). 
    • Outfit your cookie press with your favorite fall shape (I made leaves, spiders, and pumpkins), and press dough into the cookie press container following the manufacturer instructions. Press out shaped dough onto an ungreased, cold cookie sheet (or at least at room temperature; if it's warm, place the sheet in the refrigerator for a couple of minutes).
    • Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over each cookie.
    • Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes, just until the sides and bottoms of each cookie are light brown.

    Notes

    If dough is still too soft after slightly chilling it, return it to the refrigerator and chill further, in 5-10 minute increments until the consistency comes out nicely through the cookie press. You don't want it to be fully chilled; then it won't go through the press at all. You just want it to hold shape while it goes through the press shapes.
    Remember: the first push through the cookie press is meant to get the dough through an even amount going forward, and usually doesn't come out ready for baking.

        I searched for a "unusual spritz cookie flavor" and your recipe came up. I made them today. They made my house smell amazing. I didn't have to chill the dough at all, it was ready to go after I mixed it. Came out of my spritz press easily. They taste even better than they smell. These are on my list of cookies to make every year know!

        I made these today and they turned out pretty good just not sweet... at all. I iced them with some maple icing and they were perfect. Next time I will add a little more brown sugar but very good fall recipe. Thanks

        These look amazing! Although, is there a mistake in the ingredients; flour specifically? I made these following exactly as you have listed. The dough was way too sticky and soft. It wouldn’t hold a shape when pushed through the shooter. I chilled the dough for 20 minutes which seemed to help. I have a classic spritz recipe which calls for 3 1/2 cups of flour. Any feedback would be great! Thank you!

          I’m having the same issue with mine! I’m gonna try to chill it and hopefully that helps.

          Hey Karisa, Sara, and Megan -- Thanks for your feedback! I've been in the process of slowly switching over all of my recipes to a new recipe card plugin. There are hundreds to transfer, and I'm finding a few ingredients/steps have gotten lost or wonky in the process. This one *just* got switched over and updated. Hope this helps, and thank you so much for trying this recipe! My kids still love it when we make it, and I hope you all do, too! :)

        Can I subtitute maple syrup?

          You could try honey or agave nectar, but the cookies would taste very different, since maple is a main flavor of the cookie. If you do try a substitute for maple syrup, I'd love to know what you try and how it turned out! Thanks!

        I must admit, I live for summer so I always get a little depressed come fall. It's a good thing fall food is so good and enticing, it's the only thing that keeps me from going into depression from the end of my favorite season ;)
