Step 1
Beat butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in large bowl with mixer until light and fluffy. Blend in egg yolk. Add 1/2 cup maple syrup; mix well. Gradually add flour, mixing well after each addition. Step 2
Divide dough in half; shape each half into ball. Flatten into discs. Wrap individually in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours. Step 3
Roll out each dough disc on lightly floured sheet of parchment to 1/8-inch thickness. Transfer parchment to baking sheet; freeze 15 min. or until dough is firm. Step 4
Heat oven to 350°F. Use 2-1/2-inch maple leaf-shaped cookie cutter to cut out dough, rerolling scraps once. Place cutouts, 1 inch apart, on parchment-covered baking sheets. Step 5
Bake 10 to 12 min. or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets 2 min. Remove to wire racks; cool completely. Step 6
Mix cream cheese, maple extract and 1 Tbsp. of the remaining maple syrup in medium bowl until blended. Gradually add icing sugar, mixing well after each addition. Step 7
Brush remaining maple syrup evenly onto tops of half the cookies; sprinkle with decorating sugar. Step 8
Spread cream cheese mixture onto bottom sides of remaining cookies, adding about 1 tsp. cream cheese mixture to each cookie. Cover with sugar-topped cookies, top sides up, to make sandwiches; press together gently to secure. Kraft Kitchen Tips!
