Indulge yourself with these delicious almond-filled cookies. They have a soft, nutty centre and are coated with a crunchy layer of sliced almonds. Delicately sweetened with our dark, robust maple syrup, these cookies offer a perfect balance of flavours and textures.

Ingredients

Almond Filling

65g ground almonds
65g plain flour
35g caster sugar
30g Pure Maple Syrup, Dark Robust
65g unsalted butter, softened
1 egg, beaten
1/4 tsp almond extract

Cookie Dough

250g plain flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
150g unsalted butter, melted
85g brown sugar
85g Pure Maple Syrup, Dark Robust
1/4 tsp almond extract
1 egg
60g almond flakes
Icing sugar to dust

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the almond filling. Beat together the butter and sugar until creamy, then incorporate the maple syrup. Gradually add the beaten egg and blend in the dry ingredients. Finally, stir in the almond extract. Refrigerate the filling for at least an hour to firm up.
  2. For the cookie dough, begin by beating together the melted butter, maple syrup, and sugar until well combined. Add the egg and almond extract, continuing to beat until smooth. Sift in the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Refrigerate the cookie dough for an hour to firm up.
  3. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/ Gas Mark 5 and line a baking tray. Remove the almond filling from the refrigerator. Take about a heaped teaspoon of the almond filling and roll it between your palms until it forms a ball roughly the size of a large grape. Note: This recipe yields excess almond filling, which can be stored in a zip lock bag in the freezer for later use.
  4. Now, using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the cookie dough, each about the size of a walnut. Flatten the dough and place a round piece of almond filling in the centre. Encase the filling with the cookie dough, rolling it in your hands until it forms a smooth, egg-sized ball. Then, roll the ball in the almond flakes to coat it evenly. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking tray ensuring there’s enough space between them for spreading . Repeat this process until all the dough and filling are used, yielding approximately 9 large cookies.
  5. Bake the cookies on the middle shelf of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they just start to turn golden at the edges. Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust the cooled cookies with icing sugar. Enjoy your delicious almond-filled treats!

Dave Bitondo
I’m not an expert on reviewing maple syrup by any means, just a dad of four who makes pancakes a lot for the kids and they all loved it! The bottle was gone in a week and the kids keep asking me for “the good stuff”
Best and purest we’ve ever had. Highly recommend

Great natural taste, perfect with waffles and ice cream, and with breakfast oats.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your feed back !
Naomi Knight
The Pure Maple products are well loved in our household. The maple syrup’s (all three) are perfect on porridge or with yogurt and fruit, and the Maple Butter is just out of this world, currently having on crumpets. Next, going to experiment with glazing the Christmas ham.

I was so pleased to find this website in the UK I discovered Maple Butter years ago in the USA and was blown away with the taste. I have ordered from websites in the US but gets difficult with customs etc. If you have never tried maple butter toast some bagles and smother them in it, Its to die for.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, we appreciate the feedback!

I've been buying this maple butter for quite a while now. It's simply delicious and I can't get enough of it! 😋 Spread it on thick toast and top with banana!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your comment!
Taylor Geyer
I am a born and raised, Montreal, Canadian and randomly came across this site when I first moved to London. It made me feel at home because it was so “pure” (no pun intended) and genuine, especially being that the originators of the company are Canadian themselves. I have consistently ordered from here for the past 4 years and will continue to do so. Not just for myself, but I have gotten my partner, his family and friends all hooked! Bravo to you!
Love your friendly Canadian neighbour
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, we appreciate the feedback!
NORMAN GOODEN

BRENDA BROWN
I am totally in love with the maple butter, maple syrup and maple cream biscuits. They are just perfect and very, very special .
Response from the owner:Thank you for your reply we are glad you enjoy our Maple Syrup and Cookies!
peter bays
I purchased the maple biscuits, maple syrup and the maple spread. They are all fantastic!! The biscuits are a generous size. I have given a few of the packages as gifts and the recipients were very pleased as they were not the normal items you can purchase at the shops. The syrup was just perfect on pancakes! As for the spread I have stopped using butter on toast and just use the maple spread. It does not take too much. I can't remember where I saw the advertisement for the Pure Maple products but wish I had found it long ago. Great items, fast delivery and good value for money. I would highly recommend buying these products! Enjoy!!
Response from the owner:We are glad you enjoyed our Maple Products !
Kathleen Robinson
I have bought maple syrup from here so many times. It’s amazing. I was brought up in Canada so maple syrup is an absolute essential and this beats any of the maple syrups you can buy from the supermarkets. Service is great too 👍🏻
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, we appreciate the feedback!
Andrew Young
I've had all variations of the maple syrup and they are perfect in each way for cooking...or just drinking out of the bottle or more socially acceptable I suppose, putting on pancakes. The butter spread is great on brioche toast, but use sparingly as once it's gone you'll miss it.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, we appreciate the feedback!
Debby Jones
I bought the granola plus the maple syrup on a 6 bags + free bottle of maple syrup - a great deal, making buying this amazingly pure product, from this independent company, more affordable for us. 👌 I've not tried the syrup yet but the the granola is delicious mixed in with my morning fruit and oat milk or yogurt! 😋 Highly recommended. (I'd love to see a plain variety without the dried fruit, please?!)
Response from the owner:Thank you for your comment :)

Glevum Owl
Met the lovely owners at their stall in Gloucester Quays Christmas market and was immediately impressed by their genuine enthusiasm for maple syrup.

Ended up buying
- a bottle of maple syrup; strong but smooth flavour that's way better than the grade 2 junk sold in supermarkets,
- maple butter; perfect on crumpets,
- maple fudge; no sugar with a delicious lingering taste. Makes a great sweetener in tea (without milk).

We're preparing our next online order.

Check out the recipes on the website too.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your comment :)
