I found this recipe in the Pillsbury Fall Baking Booklet that I found in the checkout aisle of the grocery store. Ingredients:
3/4 cup pecan halves |
1 cup butter, softened or 1 cup margarine |
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed |
1/2 teaspoon maple flavoring |
1 egg |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon granulated sugar |
3/4 cup powdered sugar |
1 tablespoon milk |
1 teaspoon maple flavoring |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. In an 8-inch square pan, bake pecans 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown. Spread nuts on cutting board; cool 5 minutes. Finely chop.
2. In large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until fluffy. Beat in 1/2 teaspoon maple flavor and the egg until well blended. Stir in flour and chopped toasted pecans.
3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart. Flatten in crisscross pattern with fork dipped in granulated sugar.
4. Bake 11 to 14 minutes or until edges just begin to brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 10 minutes.
5. In small bowl, mix icing ingredients until smooth; drizzle over cookies.
