-450 g flour

1) Bring the butter and maple syrup to room temperature. In a bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder and cinnamon. Once all ingredients have been thoroughly mixed, add a pinch of salt.

2) Next up add sugar and butter. For a better mix of flavors, we recommend that you cut the butter into small cubes. This will help you mix the ingredients more easily.

3) In another bowl mix the maple syrup and the egg.

4) Bring the resulting composition to the first bowl and start kneading. This step will help the composition take on a solid, ball-shaped, form.

5) Next, refrigerate for 30 minutes. During this time, you can preheat the oven to 180 degrees, place a baking sheet on the tray and choose the cake tins.

6)  After 30 minutes, take the dough out of the fridge and cut it into 4 equal parts. This way it will be much easier for you to model it. Now all you have to do is roll out the dough and cut it in festive forms! Bake them for 10-15 minutes.

7)  The final step is to decorate them!
