Innkeeper Comments: "These are a bit of trouble, but they provide a different appearance, texture and taste to a cookie tray."
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup finely chopped nuts
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
Blend flour and nuts. Bring corn syrup, shortening and sugar to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; gradually stir in flour and nuts.
Drop batter by level teaspoonfuls about 3 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake only 8 to 9 cookies at a time. Bake about 5 to 6 minutes, remove from oven and allow to stand 5 minutes to harden slightly before removing from pan.
