Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp maple flavouring
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups white chocolate baking chips
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • MAPLE GLAZE
  • 1/3 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 3/4 cups icing sugar
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp maple flavouring

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and maple flavouring. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in baking chips and pecans.

Drop cookie dough by rounded Tbsps 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on pans 2 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

For glaze, in a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove from heat. Gradually beat in the sugar, syrup and maple flavouring until smooth.

Drizzle over cookies; let glaze dry completely. Store between pieces of waxed paper in airtight containers.

Note: This makes a lot of glaze. Making half would be enough. If you have extra you can drizzle it over pound cake, pastries or doughnuts.
