Frosted Maple Cookies

I had to make something unique for a cookie exchange and these were the ones chosen! Jason said the house smelled like waffles :)


Frosted Maple Cookies
Makes about 60 cookies
Cookie:
3 Cups of Flour
2 Cups Brown Sugar
½ Cup Butter (softened)
1 Tsp. Maple Extract
12 oz. White Chocolate Morsels
2 Tsp. Baking Soda
1 Cup Shortening
2 Eggs
1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
½ Cup Chopped Pecans
Topping:
A pecan half for each cookie (about 60)
Frosting- 2 cups powdered sugar, 2-3 tbsp. Milk, 2 tbsp. Butter, ½ tsp. Maple extract, mix until smooth
Beat together all the ingredients (stir in the chips and pecans last). Drop by rounded tablespoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown and transfer to a plate to cool. Once cooled top with maple frosting and a pecan half. Enjoy!
