2 Tbsp cornstarch

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1/2 cup

3/4 tsp maple extract

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup butter

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

3 Tbsp half and half

1 1/4 tsp maple extract

Directions

In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for 20 seconds, set aside. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream together butter and sugar until blended. Mix in egg then blend in sour cream, maple extract and vanilla extract. With mixer set on low speed slowly add in flour mixture and mix until combined. Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Place each portion on a sheet of plastic wrap and shape each into a round disk about 6-inches. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill 2 hours, or until firm enough to roll. Preheat oven to 350 degrees during last 10 minutes of chilling. Dust a work surface with a fair amount of flour. Remove one portion of dough from refrigerator, remove from plastic wrap and transfer to floured surface. Dust top with flour, then using a rolling pin, roll out just slightly thicker than 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 2 1/2-inch rounds. Transfer to an 18 by 13-inch baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Dust excess flour from scraps, press them together and re-roll dough and cut into rounds. Bake in preheated oven for 9 - 10 minutes until cookies are nearly set. Let cool several minutes on baking sheet then transfer to a wire rack to cool . Repeat process with remaining dough in refrigerator. Once cookies are cool frost with the maple cinnamon frosting and store in an airtight container.
