Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 egg

Sugar Coating:
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/8 tsp. vanilla

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon together and set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 cup of white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and maple syrup. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients until just mixed.

In a small dish, mix together the remaining 1/2 cup white sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Roll dough into 1 inch balls, and roll the balls in the sugar mixture. Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies will be crackly on top and look underdone in the middle. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
