Answer 1

Just add another teaspoon of vanilla extract. I actually don't like the maple extract in pumpkin cookies and use vanilla instead all the time.

Answer 6

If you feel that you really need it with all the other spices you are using, you can add a tsp of REAL maple syrup. I change recipes around all the time so I don't think its a big deal if you eliminate it.

Answer 7

Have you tried using blackstrap molasses? It makes a great, though heavier, substitute for maple syrup.

Answer 8

Maple syrup, maple flavoured syrup or don't use it at all.

Answer 9
