Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup sifted icing sugar

1/4 cup cornstarch

2 cups whole wheat flour (a wink to the healthy diet)

sugar

1/4 cup corn syrup

18 frozen raspberries (my second wink to healthy eating)

Cookie cutter, shape of a maple leaf.

Directions

Cream the butter until light.

Add the icing sugar gradually, beating until it is absorbed.

Combine the cornstarch and the flour and then slowly add the dry incredients to the butter mixture, beating until smooth.

This should make a stiff dough. Knead slightly. Add flour if necessary.

Turn the dough on to a lightly sugared board and roll out to a 1/4 inch thickness. Sugar the roller as needed as well.

Cut out as many maple leafs as you can with the dough to fill your cookie tray (no need to butter..there's enough in the dough).

Roll the remaining dough in to balls to make thimble cookies.

Bake at 300 degrees for twenty minutes or until lightly golden on the bottom and the edges.

In the meantime, measure the corn syrup and the raspberries in to a small saucepan and heat to boiling, mashing the berries as you go. Strain the glaze through a mesh strainer.

Spread the glaze on the still-warm cookies with the tip of a spoon.
