Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp maple flavoring
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup pecan halves, cut in half lengthwise
chocolate glaze:
1 oz semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1-1/2 tsp butter
2 tbsp milk
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions:

In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla and maple flavoring. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until firm.
Shape dough into 1-in. balls. Place on lightly greased baking sheets. Push four pecan pieces into each ball for legs; add two small pecan pieces to each for head and tail.
Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set. Carefully remove to wire racks to cool completely.
In a small saucepan, melt chocolate and butter with milk. Remove from the heat; stir in confectioners' sugar. Dip top of each cookie into glaze. Sprinkle with chopped pecans. Yield: 2 dozen.
