DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350o. In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter and sugars until smooth. Add vanilla and eggs and beat until combined, then add flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined. Fold in chopped pecans.
Spoon tablespoon scoops onto a parchment- lined baking sheet and bake until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool.
Make frosting: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter until smooth and fluffy, 2 minutes. Add powdered sugar and beat until combined, then add maple syrup and heavy cream and beat until creamy. (If the frosting is too thin, beat in more powdered sugar, 1/4 cup at a time.)
Frost cookies and decorate with more pecans.
