1 Preheat oven to 350°F. For the Cookies, beat butter, brown sugar and salt in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg and maple flavor; mix well. Gradually beat in flour on low speed until well mixed. Roll out dough on generously floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out with 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutter.
2 Bake 8 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets 1 minute. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.

Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating until well blended after each addition and scraping sides and bottom of bowl frequently. Add water; beat until light and fluffy. Place about 1 teaspoon filling on the flat side of 1 cookie. Top with a second cookie, pressing gently to spread the filling. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.
