Directions: |
Directions:Sift together flour, soda, salt. Cream butter or margarine & brown sugar, creaming well. Blend in vanilla & maple flavoring. Add dry ingredients. Arrange split pecan halves in groups of three or five on greased baking sheets to resemble head and legs of a turtle. Shape by rounded teaspoonfuls into balls; dip bottoms into unbeaten egg white and press lightly onto nuts so tips of nuts show. Bake at 350ºfor 10-13 minutes. Cool and frost tops with chocolate frosting.
Chocolate frosting:
Melt 2 squares (2 oz.) unsweetened chocolate or 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate pieces in ¼ cup milk and 1 tablespoon butter in top of double boiler over boiling water; blend until smooth. Remove from heat; add 1 cup sifted confectioners’ sugar. Beat until smooth and glossy. If too thin, add additional confectioners’ sugar until of desired consistency. |
