Innkeeper Comments: "These are a bit of trouble, but they provide a different appearance, texture and taste to a cookie tray."

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup finely chopped nuts
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

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.
