Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup chopped pecans
2 1/4 cups all-purpose white flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup powdered sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1 cup powdered sugar
6 1/2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*.
  • Spread the 1 cup of pecans in a small baking pan and toast in the oven, stirring frequently, for 6-9 minutes, or until lightly browned, be careful not to burn. Immediately turn out into a small bowl. Let stand until completely cooled; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, thoroughly stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • In a food processor, process the pecans and brown sugar continuously until the pecans are completely pureed and form a paste, 3-4 minutes -- scraping down sides of processor and bottom several times.
  • Add the butter and process until well blended. Add the powdered sugar, maple syrup, egg yolk, and vanilla and process until very well blended and smooth. Add the flour mixture and process in on/off pulses just until evenly incorporated.
  • Divide the dough into thirds. Place each portion between large sheets of wax paper. Roll out each portion to a generous 1/8" thick; check the underside of dough and smooth out any wrinkles that form. Stack the rolled portions, paper and all on a baking sheet.

Reroll any dough scraps. Continue cutting out the cookies until all the dough is used. Lightly sprinkle half the cookies with the finely chopped pecans, patting them down to embed them slightly -- these rounds will be the sandwich tops.
  • Bake the cookies one sheet at a time in the upper third of the oven for 6-8 minutes or until just tinged with brown and slightly darker around the edges. Reverse sheets halfway through from front to back to ensure even browning.Transfer sheet to wire rack and let set 2-3 minutes so cookies firm up slightly.Using a spatula, transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely.
