Ingredients

1/3 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon maple flavoring
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans, divided
FILLING:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 teaspoon maple flavoring
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons maple syrup

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg, vanilla and flavoring. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with cream and syrup, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1/4 cup pecans.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup pecans. Bake until edges are light brown and tops spring back when lightly touched, 8-10 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For filling, in a large bowl, beat butter, shortening and flavoring until creamy. Beat in confectioners’ sugar alternately with cream and syrup until smooth. Spread filling on bottoms of half of the cookies; cover with remaining cookies. Store in airtight containers.
