-If you don't have a cookie cutter, pinch off small pieces of the chilled dough and roll them into balls between your hands. Place them onto the parchment-line baking sheet and flatten to about ⅛ inch thick with the bottom of a drinking glass.
-If you prefer a sweeter cookie, add 2 Tablespoons more brown sugar during the creaming process.
-If you don't have maple syrup, your best substitutes are date or grape molasses.
