Ingredients
Quebec Maple Pecan Drop Cookies
- ½ cup butter 1 stick) softened, unsalted
- 3 tablespoons applesauce unsweetened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 120g
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats uncooked
- ½ cup pecans chopped
Maple Pecan Frosting
- 2 oz. cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons butter softened, unsalted
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon maple extract
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup pecans toasted, chopped
Instructions
Make the Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat, and set aside.
- While the oven preheats, toast the chopped pecans on another baking sheet. (This will only take 5 or so minutes. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!)
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, applesauce and sugar together using a hand mixer or a stand mixer on a medium speed. Beat the ingredients together until smooth.
- Pour the syrup into the mixture, and beat until incorporated.
- In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Once combined, gradually pour into the butter mixture and beat until combined.
- Turn down the speed to low, and mix in the oats and chopped pecans. Stir until just mixed.
- Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop or a tablespoon measure to drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Be sure to space them evenly apart, giving the cookies about 1" around to spread as they bake.
- Bake 12-15 minutes or until cookies are golden brown.
- Once the cookies have finished baking, transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
Make the Icing
- While the cookies are baking, combine the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl.
- Using the hand or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, then pour in the maple syrup.
- Sprinkle the powdered sugar into the icing ingredients and stir until well-mixed.
- Add pecans to the mixed icing, stirring in using a rubber spatula.
- Set aside until the cookies have cooled completely, the ice and enjoy!
Notes
- Please note that if you use a different size cookie scoop than I used, your cookies will either be larger or smaller, thus making more or less cookies and changing the nutritional value.
- How to store: Store these cookies at room temperature in an airtight storage container for 3-4 days.
