Maple walnut cookies combine maple and walnuts for the ultimate Canadian cookie that is buttery and sweet with a little crunch.

I can’t be the only one craving cookies like crazy these days, can I? These maple walnut cookies are an old favourite of mine, and I think they will quickly become a favourite of yours too. I actually created this cookie recipe about three years ago, and my best friend just reminded me about them over the holidays. You know you develop too many recipes when you forget about an absolutely delicious and perfect maple walnut cookie. These cookies are sweetened with brown sugar and maple syrup, the chopped walnuts add some crunch and there is a little bit of unsweetened coconut in here to give them that extra little “je ne sais quoi”.

It’s been so cold the past couple of weeks that all I’ve been wanting to do is bake and eat whatever treats I have made. I’ve been making a ton of granola (a new recipe will be coming your way soon) and of course, indulging in some cookies. It took me a while to decide what I would make for this post, but in the end, I felt like no one would complain about a chewy and sweet cookie at a baby shower. Right? It’s time for another celebration, and today we’re celebrating Jan from Family Bites because she’s having a baby! I always love participating in these virtual baby showers for friends, but I never know what I should “bring” to these showers

    Walnuts and maple are some of my favourite flavours. Now that I just bought my stash of maple syrup, I will be making these beauties. Perfect cookies for a baby shower or any time!

    These look like a perfect baby shower treat! I have a deep and abiding love for all things maple-walnut, so these cookies are totally calling my name. Love the addition of coconut to the mix.... it sounds just perfect. Adding these to my must-bake list right now.
