Maple Nut Goody Cookies

http://thepioneerwoman.com/tasty-kitchen/recipes/desserts/maple-logs/

• FOR THE COOKIES:
• ½ cups Brown Sugar
• ½ cups Butter, Softened
• 1 whole Egg
• 1 teaspoon Maple Extract
• 1-½ cup Flour
• 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
• _____
• FOR THE ICING:
• ¾ cups Powder Sugar
• 1 Tablespoon Butter, Softened
• ½ teaspoons Maple Extract
• 6 teaspoons Milk, Or More As Needed

Preparation Instructions

Beat brown sugar, butter, egg and maple extract until combined. Mix in flour and peanuts and beat until dough clumps together.

Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or freeze for about 10 minutes.

Shape into 2-3 inch logs.

Bake at 375F for 6-8 minutes. Allow to cool before icing.

Beat all icing ingredients together. Depending on your preference for the thickness of the icing, you can add more or less milk. I usually use about 10 teaspoons because I like it a little more liquid-y.

Lay all the cookies right next to each other in rows on a piece of waxed paper. Then I put the icing in a ziploc bag, cut off the tip and drizzle the icing over all the cookies.

Either way works and makes for a delicious cookie.
