At first these didn’t strike me as anything spectacular, but yet I couldn’t help but eat more of them. I’d find myself craving them! This recipe is from Penzeys Spices Harvest 2006 catalog. This makes 3-4 dozen cookies.



2 sticks butter, softened
½ cup sugar
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 ¼ cups pecans, coarsely chopped

In a medium bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until pale and creamy. Gradually beat in the sugar until well blended. Add the maple syrup, egg yolk and vanilla and mix until well blended. Mix in flour and pecans until blended. Divide the dough in half and shape into long logs. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Take the dough out of the frig one roll at a time. Unwrap. Slice the dough into ½ inch thick slices. Place the disks on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes until golden.
