Instructions: 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.

Preheat the oven to 400 F.and put the sugar in a small bowl. With 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.
