Maple Shortbread Cookies

Simple and delicious with only four ingredients

1 cup butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat  oven to 350 degrees F. Beat the butter and maple syrup
together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Stir the
flour and salt together in a separate bowl; gradually mix the flour
mixture into the butter mixture until just incorporated. Form the
mixture into balls or shapes; flatten gently and arrange onto a baking
sheet.  Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12
minutes.  Let cool and frost as desired.
