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

  • 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.
  • 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.
