  ABOUT THIS RECIPE These are crisp refridgerator cookies that are great when baked as needed. You may keep the dough in the refrigerator up to one week before baking.

 
  1. In large bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Add egg, vanilla and maple flavoring. Beat well.

 
  2. Stir flour, salt and baking soda together. Stir into the creamed mixture until dough is smooth. Chill for 30 minutes.

 
  3. Shape dough into a 12 inch roll. Wrap in plastic film. Chill 4 to 24 hours.
