Ingredients

Cookies
3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 egg large
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon maple extract or almond extract
dash salt
2 cups flour
48 round wooden toothpicks
Coating
36 caramel candy unwrapped
1/4 cup milk
1 cup peanut finely chopped, walnuts, or almonds

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350°. Have baking sheets ready.

2. To make cookies, beat butter and powdered sugar in a large bowl with electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla, maple flavor, and salt. On low speed, gradually beat in flour. Form dough into forty-eight balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake 12 to 14 minutes until balls are set, but not browned (tops may crack slightly). Insert a toothpick into center of each. Cool on wire racks.

3. To make coating, melt caramels in milk, stirring often. Keep warm over a pan of hot, not boiling, water. Dip each cookie into the caramel mixture, coating completely and drawing bottom of cookie across edge of pan to remove excess caramel. Dip bottom of each in chopped nuts. Place on a sheet of wax paper to set. Store loosely covered best served within 24 hours.
