These maple cookies are literally heaven on a plate. They have the perfect taste of maple-- not overpowering but definitely not negligible. The dough can be made in 10 minutes, there is no resting period, and the cookies bake for about 10 minutes in the oven. Can you think of anything more perfect in these beautiful fall months? I think not.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
If using oats instead of oat flour, simply use a blender or food processor to grind the oats into a powder... now you have oat flour!
Melt butter almost completely. In the bowl of stand mixer (or with an electric mixer) cream the butter together with brown sugar and granulated sugar until just combined.
Add egg and mix until just combined.
Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, and maple extract and mix until just combined.
Use a wooden spoon to hand-mix baking soda, salt, oat flour, and all purpose flour.
Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out dough onto ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and leave on the cookie sheet to continue cooking until cooled.
