Maple Sugar

[runninduo]

I was just watching Emeril's cookie contest episode and one of the featured recipes was a yummy Maple Cookie. The ingredients for the cookie were all standard stuff I keep in my pantry, but the glaze called for Maple Sugar. I've never seen this before (have never really looked either.....lol). Is this a hard to find item? I live in Los Angeles, so I hope I'd be able to find it somewhere. Anyone know if they sell it at the regular supermarkets? If not, what about Whole Foods and/or Trader Joe's.

Thanks.

If you can't find maple sugar, just make a cream cheese frosting, or a regular 'buttercream powdered sugar' frosting, and use maple extract in place of the vanilla.

I have seen it at Whole Foods here in Houston. I believe that it is basically maple syrup with all the liquid removed. Worse case scenario, use brown sugar and maybe extra maple extract.
