Cookies
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp imitation maple flavor, if desired
1 egg
1 egg, separated
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup pecan halves, split lengthwise
Frosting
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3 tbsp milk
1 tbsp butter
1 cup confectioners sugar
In large bowl, combine brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter; beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, maple flavor, 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk; beat well. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt; mix well. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate about 1 hour for easier handling.
Preheat oven to 350. Grease cookie sheets. Arrange pecan pieces in groups of 5 on greased cookie sheets to resemble head and legs of turtle. In small bowl, beat egg white. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Dip bottoms in beaten egg white; press lightly onto pecans. (Tips of pecans should show).
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets. Cool 15 minutes or until completely cooled.
In small saucepan, combine chocolate chips, milk and 1 tbsp butter; cook over low heat, stirring constantly until melted and smooth. Remove from heat; stir in confectioners sugar. If necessary, add additional confectioners sugar for desired spreading consistency. Frost cooled cookies. Let frosting set before storing. Store in tightly covered container.
