Snappy Turtle Cookies

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon maple flavoring
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 eggs (reserve 1 white)
2 cups pecan halves

Chocolate Frosting: 1 pkg. Pillsbury one layer size Buttercream Fudge Frosting Mix

Oven: 350 degrees About 30 cookies

In large mixer bowl, combine all ingredients except pecans and frosting. Blend well at low speed. Chill dough until stiff enough to handle.

Arrange pecan halves in groups of 3 or 5 on greased cookie sheets to resemble head and legs of turtle. Shape dough into balls, using a rounded teaspoon for each. Dip bottom of balls into unbeaten egg white; press lightly onto nuts. Be sure tips of pecans will show when cookie is baked. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Do not overbake. Cool; frost tops with chocolate frosting.
