   2 2/3 c  Softed whole wheat flour
       1 ts Cream of tarter
       1 ts Baking soda
     1/2 ts Salt

       Sift whole wheat flour a second time with the cream of tarter, baking
   soda salt and cinnamon. Set aside. In a medium-size bowl, cream the butter
   until fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl. With the mixer still
   running, add the maple syrup in a thin stream, followed by the eggs, one at
   a time. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture,
   stirring just until blended. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

   lightly floured hands,roll the dough into balls about 1 1/4 inches in
   diameter. Roll the balls in the sugar,then place on an ungreased baking
   sheet, leaving 2 inches between them. Bake for 10 minutes, just until tops
   no longer yield to light finger pressure. Transfer to a rack and cool.
