Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Step 3
Beat the butter, applesauce and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy.
Step 4
Pour the syrup into the mixture, and beat until incorporated.

In another large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually beat this into the butter mixture.
Step 6
On a low sweet, mix in the oats and chopped pecans until just mixed.
Step 7
Drop the dough in rounded tablespoonfuls onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Step 8
Bake 22 minutes or until cookies are golden brown.

While the cookies are baking, combine the cream cheese and butter for the frosting, creaming them together. Then add the maple syrup.
Step 10
Sprinkle in the powdered sugar, stirring until well-mixed.
Step 11
Top the icing with pecans, and set aside until the cookies have cooled completely.
