        Place butter, brown sugar, salt, vanilla and maple extracts in mixer
   and beat to blend. Lightly beat egg yolk with fork and add 1/2 to mixture.
   Beat until well-mixed and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add flour and mix well.
   Drop batter by rounded teaspoons on 2 lightly greased baking sheets,
   spacing cookies 2"   apart. Dip fingers in small dish of water and pat
   cookies into about 2 1/2" rounds.
       Froth egg white with fork and brush top of each cookie lightly with egg
   white. Don't let egg white drip off cookies onto pan; cookies will stick.
   Sprinkle about 1/4 ts pecans on each. Bake at 350~ until cookies are medium
   brown, about 10 to 11 minutes. Let rest 2 minutes before using spatula to
   transfer them to cooling rack. Once completely cooled, cookies can be kept
   up to 1 week at room temperature in an airtight container or frozen as long
   as 3 months wrapped airtight. Source: Abby Mandel.
