I just made these. I substitued 1/2 cup of maple sugar for the 1/2 sugar. I must say...it did not improve on the maple taste. I added pure maple syrup as well. The only thing I didn't have on hand was the maple flavor. But I thought for sure that the maple sugar would make a difference. I'm sad to say that it didn't. Is there a reason why the maple sugar didn't make a difference? The biscotti I made have no taste what so ever. Hi Michelle, Maple sugar is a very subtle flavor, more maple-y than regular sugar but not as concentrated as maple flavor. It will lend a bit more flavor to your baked goods, but for a big punch of taste, go with the maple flavoring. ~ MaryJane
