Don't be a sap

Maple Cream Pie Cookie

With a layer of sweet maple cream sandwiched between two thick oatmeal cookies made from a bunch of organic ingredients, the maple-cream-pie cookie at Bread & Circus is a dream of a dessert. It costs $1.59 and -- be warned -- often sells out faster than it takes sap to fill a bucket. Great with spiced tea and honey on a cold winter's day.
