These maple glazed apple cookies from Perry's Plate scream fall. All your favorite fall flavors are wrapped up into one delicious cookie. Chunks of apple are added to a spicy cookie dough that is flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. For the glaze, use 100 percent maple syrup for the best flavor. I prefer grade B maple syrup because it has a deeper richer flavor.
Cookies:
1/2 cup butter, softened (4 oz or one stick)

This sounds like a great recipe, but I question the 1/4 tsp. maple syrup in the glaze; it does not seem to be enough to impart any significant flavor.

Agreed. How can 1/4 tsp in 1 cup of sugar make any difference? That is 1/72 tsp per cookie, or about 0.002 oz by weight per cookie.
Could that unit be wrong?

My best guess is that the author intended 1/4 cup. We'll see if there is a correction posted. Stuff happens... and it is not the end o f the world.
Another possibility is that s/he intended use of concentrated maple flavoring, such as Crescent brand's "Mapleleine." In that case, 1/4 tsp. might be about right. Best wishes and never fear making adjustments when necessary...
