Childhood nostalgia alert! 🚨 If you grew up in Childhood nostalgia alert! 🚨 If you grew up in Canada, for sure you grew up eating maple leaf cookies—or perhaps you grew up begging your parents to buy some! In any case, maple leaf cookies are a ubiquitous Canadian treat: they’re even sold in Canadian airport stores and  duty-free shops for travelers to take home 🇨🇦 And why wouldn’t they? Maple leaf cookies are crunchy, creamy, aromatic, and irresistibly sweet 😍
.
A few years ago, I went down (yet another) baking rabbit hole trying to figure out if these cookies could be made at home. Of course they can, and like so many other desserts, surprise surprise, the homemade version is even better than the industrially produced—which are pretty good themselves, IMHO 👌🏼
.
In homemade maple leaf cookies, not only is the creamy maple butter frosting bursting with maple flavor (I may or may not eat it by the spoonful 😬), but the cookies, which are made with maple sugar instead of regular granulated sugar, have an incredibly appealing sablé texture that melts in the mouth 🥳
.
Granted, maple leaf cookies are not cheap cookies to make: the recipe does require a nice quantity of maple products (sugar, syrup, and butter—which is why they’re so delicious!), but the yield is impressive, especially if you make the cookies in a smaller size. Plus, I swear the result is better than any maple-flavored store-bought cookie you’ll ever buy!
.
My recipe for Homemade Maple Leaf Cookies has been living on my site for a little while, but I recently updated it with new photos and additional tips. I think it’s time for you to give these cookies a try!

{NEW} Citrus Fish Cakes with Broiled Fennel and Or {NEW} Citrus Fish Cakes with Broiled Fennel and Orange Salad 🍊
.
Spring is still a long way away--where I live, that is--so I still need citrus to boost my mood and fill my plate. Citrus for lunch is one of my favorite ways to avoid the midday slump, and these aromatic Citrus Fish Cakes are one of my go-to lunches. They’re super quick and easy to make, so whenever I make them, I double or triple the batch, then keep them stashed in the freezer. All they need to be transformed into a scrumptious lunch is an overnight stay in the fridge, if you want to eat them cold, or a few minutes in a warm oven to return them to their freshly cooked state 🙌🏼
.
The perfect side dish to turn these citrus fish cakes into a complete meal is a broiled fennel and orange salad. Broiling the fennel makes it sweeter and crisp-tender, in a delightful contrast to the juicy oranges and crunchy nuts. It’s a riot of a salad, one you’ll find yourself craving, with or without the accompanying citrus fish cakes 💥
.
Both the fish cakes and the salad are make-ahead and meal-prep friendly, so you can make both over the weekend and fuel up with sunshine later in the week ☀️
