Unique and Delicious!

Michelle Ingram from ,

Just made a batch for the first time and I'm very happy that I found this recipe! They are light, moist and wonderfully different than the typical chocolate chip cookie. I'm sure I'll be making these again and again.
yummmmmy

KIMBERLY MCRAE from PORTERVILLE, CA

I couldn't find maple flavoring, so I used almond extract. Oh my, these cookies are now a family favorite. They are very sweet, but oh so good!! If you can make chocolate chip cookies from scratch, you can certainly do these!! MMM Very good!
Great Cookie

Gail Milton from Arlington, TN

If you are looking for something besides choclate chip to bake, these are great! I took some to work as a pre-tasting to our office cookie exchange and overwhelming majority said to include them! The cookies are very sweet. I made some with and without the icing. Either way, they are VERY tasty!
Wonderful

Stacy C. from Indianapolis

I just baked these cookies, they are wonderful. I also did not put the frosting on them. They were sweet enough without it.
Outstanding flavor!

Erin Brooks from Loganville, GA

I just finished baking a batch of these cookies and they are already a family favorite. The maple flavor is not too overpowering, and the cookies are moist and tasty. I substituted 1 cup of butterscotch morsels for the white chocolate, baking them at 370 for 10 minutes. I plan to save some to share with coworkers tomorrow, and I only do that with my best results!
FROSTED MAPLE PECAN COOKIES

PATRICIA MCGUIRE from PERU, IN

I TRIED THE FROSTED MAPLE PECAN COOKIES AND SO FAR THEY ARE A HIT. I EVEN CAME CLOSE TO THE 5 DOZEN COOKIES THAT THE RECIPE SAID IT WOULD MAKE. A VERY NICE SIZE COOKIE. LOTS OF TIMES THE RECIPE MIGHT MAKE 5 DOZEN PENNY SIZE COOKIES BUT NOT THIS ONE.

The Best Cookie EVER!!!!

Cindy Mutter from Blountville, TN

These cookies were absolutely the BEST!!!!! cookie I have ever put in my mouth. The smell alone is out of this world, but the taste...oh my, are they good!!! BTW, this recipe makes a pile of cookies. Enough to keep some, give away some and take some to work. Co-workers and family are asking for again and again.
Sweet alternative to chocolate

ANDRE L from San Francisco, CA

Not a favorite

Karen Moltz from Tuscaloosa, AL

While visiting my sister-in-law on vacation we made these cookies. These are our least favorite cookie and the family did not like them either. Will not make again.
Good or Better ?

darlene drylie from , salem/nh

My family & I thought this was a recipe to be taped inside the cupboard door. The next time I made them I used maple flavoring instead of vanilla & my kids friends have their moms calling for the recipe.

AWESOME COOKIES

Colleen Green from Mancelona, MI

I took half the batch to work and left the other half at home. Both were gone right away. I will add these to the "cookie trays" this Christmas!!
Sweet bite

Zoila Carroll from Flushing, NY

The recipe itself was very easy to put together. The cookies smelled delicious and my picky kids actually liked them. They tasted fine on their own without the added maple frosting. But for an extremely sweet treat the frosting does the job.
great cookies

LEONA GREEN from Abbeville, LA

Made these cookies at parents 60th anniversary party. This was the first to go before main dish. Everyone wanted more and more. it was enjoyed by all.
Yum

I made these cookies for a couple of birthdays at our office and I could not stop eating them before I got them to work! Everyone at the office thought they were fantastic and were asking for the recipe! I frosted them, but they are so delicious even without the frosting. Fabulous! Thanks so much for this great site!

Fun new recipe

Kimberly Antonsen from Frazee, MN

My mom and I made these this year for Christmas, cause we wanted to make something new. They were a hit even before we put the frosting on. I was even thinking of adding dried cranberries to the mix. I will definately be making these again!

"cannot keep my hands off it"

Sudha Hariharan from Toronto, ON

The other day when I had taken these cookies for potluck,they simply disappeared and many of them said that they were somehow not able to simply keep their hands off these cookies!Oops,sure they are simply great!
Very Nice

ANNE JERNIGAN from HORSEHEADS, NY

I made this cookie as part of a cookie tray I made for my niece's wedding shower. I received many compliments and requests for this recipe. I did frost the cookies and put a pecan half on top. I will definitely make again.
This Recipe is a Keeper!

Gwen Malinowski from CHICAGO, IL

Don't just save this one for the holidays. The maple flavor in the cookie is great alone, so I created a cookie plate with half frosted and half un-frosted. If you don't frost the cookie, place a pecan half on top of the cookie before baking.

Frosted Maple Pecan White Chip Cookies

Deborah Young from WOODRUFF, SC

What's not to like?? These cookies are easy to make and they are SOOOO delicious! The maple flavor reminds me of the maple candy my grandmother always kept in her candy dish when I was a child.
Great cookies!

KARA COOK from Elk Ridge, UT

I have made these cookies several times and they are always wonderful. I usually use all butter or margarine in place of the shortening. I have never made them with the frosting, I think it would be to sweet. They are perfect without it!
My favorite cookies!

K M from ERIE, PA

My Grandma has been making these cookies for a few years now, and they are my absolute favorite cookie! I can't keep my hands off of them when we have them around!
Delicious!

G. C. from San Jose, CA

I have been making these for years and they always get rave reviews. I've actually never made them with the icing, so if you're short on time you can skip the icing and still have delicious cookies.
MAPLE YUM

Lisa Lefebvre from MERRIMACK, NH

I've been baking these cookies for a few years now and they are a hit, especially with my French-Canadian friends and family!! So easy and beautiful on the plate. Must double the batch!! as they never last very long! Use a baking stone to get the best results possible!
Frosted Maple Pecan White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Linda Eager from HARLAN, IN

These cookies mix up quickly and bake to a nice golden brown. They are wonderful without the frosting, but maple frosting adds a really nice touch. The maple flavor and the white chocolate chips are a winning combination. They are my son's absolute favorite cookie!
Delicious!

Cheryl Mathieu from GRAYSLAKE, IL

These cookies were easy to make and absolutely delicious! I think my husband ate half the batch all by himself. The cookies were really yummy without frosting (especially with a cup of coffee) but the frosting put them over the top!
SO GLAD I TRIED THIS RECIPE!
