Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 1/2 tsp. Natural Maple Extract

1/4 tsp. Mayan Sea Salt

2 cups all-purpose flour 40 pecan halves

Directions

Step 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, beat together butter, sugar, maple extract, and salt until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 min.

Step 2 Add flour and mix until just combined.

Step 3 Roll 1 Tbsp. of dough at a time into balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Gently press a pecan half into the center of each ball to flatten slightly.

Step 4 Bake for 12 to 15 min., or until cookies just begin to brown around the edges.
