This maple shortbread recipe makes delicate, buttery cookies infused with the woodsy sweetness of dark maple syrup. For this recipe, we use einkorn. It’s an ancient variety of wheat with a richer flavor and more nutrition than modern strains. It has a delicate crumb and is perfect for cookies and shortbread.

Fenugreek has a flavor profile similar to maple’s—woodsy with sweet notes of spice. While optional in this recipe, you’ll find it amplifies the flavor of the maple well.
