1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. chopped pecans
1 egg
1/4 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla flavoring
1/2 tsp. lemon flavoring

Mix all ingredients into a smooth paste. Roll into log shape and cut into 1-inch slices. Make an indentation in the center of each cookie by pressing with thumb. Bake at 350 degrees about 10 minutes.

Icing:
1/4 c. oil
1/4 c. Karo syrup
1 Tbsp. water
Pinch of salt
drop of vanilla flavoring
drop of cherry flavoring
1 c. or more powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp. milk or cream

Bring oil, Karo syrup and water to a boil. Transfer it to a mixing bowl. Add flavorings and sugar until it becomes a thick paste. Continue mixing until smooth. Add milk or cream enough until icing reaches consistency to drop into indentations in cookie. Let cool.
