Yield 3 Dozen

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
pinch cloves
generous grate fresh nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter softened
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 large egg
1/2 cup pecans toasted and chopped finely
1/2 cup raw sugar
1 tablespoon maple syrup

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 F. In a medium bowl combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, spices and salt). In a separate bowl beat butter and sugar until blended. Add maple syrup and egg, beat until fully combined. Stir in the dry ingredients and then fold in the chopped pecans. In a small bowl combine the raw sugar and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Mix until it has the consistency of brown sugar. Shape the dough into balls about the size of small walnuts and roll in the maple syrup/sugar mixture. Place the balls onto a parchment lined baking sheet and squash lightly. Bake approximately 10 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges.
