1

In a mixing bowl, beat butter and granulated sugar about 4 minutes until it becomes very creamy.
2

Add the egg, maple syrup and vanilla and again beat until well incorporated.
3

Mix in flour and nuts until just incorporated. You do not want to over beat at this step.
4

Divide your cookie dough in two. Place each half on a large piece of plastic wrap.
5

With your hands start to form a basic log shape, about 1 1/2 " in diameter.
6

Fold plastic wrap around log shape and continue to roll to get as round a shape as possible.
7

Freeze logs 15 minutes to help firm up dough to cut. Do not freeze any longer!
8

Preheat oven to 350°F.
9

Take chilled dough, unwrap from plastic and cut into 1/2 " cuts. Place cookies on ungreased baking sheet and cook for 15 minutes. Cookies should just get a light golden brown edge. Do not overcook.
10

Transfer to cool on a rack.
11

Take cooled cookies and dip half into powdered sugar shaking off excess. (Optional)
12

Store tightly sealed.
