                        -----WALDINE VAN GEFFEN VGHC42A-----
     1/2  cup           Butter or margarine
     1/2  cup           Light brown sugar -- packed
   1      Whole         egg
   1                    Egg yolk
   1                    Egg white
     1/4  teaspoon      Vanilla
     1/8  teaspoon      Maple flavoring
   1-1/2  cups          All-purpose flour
     1/4  teaspoon      Salt
     1/4  teaspoon      Baking soda
                        Pecan halves

                        -----FROSTING-----
   2      ounces        Solid baking chocolate
     1/4  cup           Milk
   1      tablespoon    Butter
   1      pound         Powdered sugar.

Cream butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, egg yolk,  
vanilla and maple flavoring. Set aside. Sift together flour, salt, and  
baking soda. Add dry ingredients gradually to the creamed mixture until  
you have smooth dough and then chill 2 hours. Shape 1 ts dough into 
balls.  These should be oval shaped like a turtle body. Dip bottoms into 
little of  egg white. Press slightly onto greased cookie sheet on which 
groups of 5 pecan halves  have already been placed to form a head and 4 
feet of turtles. Bake at 350° 10 to 12 minutes or until set and when 
cool, frost.

FROSTING-Melt chocolate, milk and butter. Beat in the 
powdered sugar until smooth.
