Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180C. Line a baking tray with Silpat or parchment paper.
Combine the flours, baking soda, and salt ( if using) in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, beat together the butter and raw sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Beat well.
Mix in the dry ingredients using a spatula, until a stiff dough is formed.
Fold in the pecans. You may need to use your hands to ensure the pecans are distributed evenly in the dough.
Scoop out the dough onto the prepared tray, using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop.
Bake at 180C for 12-14 minutes, until the cookies are slightly firm to touch and golden brown.
Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Drizzle the glaze over each cookie and immediately sprinkle the chopped pecans. Let the glaze set for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Combine the three ingredients in a small bowl, whisk well until a thick, smooth glaze is formed.
Add more icing sugar if the glaze is too runny. Stir in more maple syrup if its too thick.
