MAPLE PECAN COOKIES
I discovered this recipe at Taste of Home about a year ago. Since then, it has become my favorite cookie. It's also our seven-year-old grandson's favorite, so you know I make them often . . . especially during the Christmas season!

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, cream the shortening, butter, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla and maple flavoring. Combine flour and baking soda; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in vanilla chips and pecans.
- 2. Drop by tablespoons 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 for 9 -11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks.
- 3. In a large bowl, cream butter, confectioners' sugar, maple flavoring, and enough milk to achieve spreading consistency. Frost each cookie with 1 teaspoon frosting; top with a pecan half. Yield: 7 dozen.
- 4. Sometimes I have more cookies than I have icing to cover with. If that happens, I just freeze the extra cookies and make more icing at another time. The cookies also freeze well after frosting.
