- 30 minutes to make

This is another old recipe that I remember my mother making during the holiday season. These are a delicious, candy-like delicacy as far as I'm concerned. If you can't tell, these are probably my all-time favorite cookie. Read more I've continued my mother's tradition and make them for the grandchildren and they love them too. See less
Ingredients
- 1 c. sifted flour (sifting is a must) shopping list
- 1 c. chopped nuts OR coconut shopping list
- 1/2 c. brown sugar shopping list
- 1/2 c. light corn syrup (like Karo) shopping list
- 1/2 c. butter OR margarine shopping list
- 1 tsp. vanilla shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix flour and nuts OR coconut (our family prefers nuts) and set aside.
- In a heavy saucepan combine sugar, syrup and butter or margarine. (Mom used margarine but butter is better.) Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in flour then vanilla. Note: I don't transfer this to a bowl, but keep it in the warm saucepan so it's easier to work with.
- Drop by scant teaspoonfuls on foil- or parchment paper-covered baking sheet at least 3" apart.
- Notes: 1. The foil or parchment paper is essential Do NOT bake these on a greased baking sheet because they will STICK and be impossible to get off the sheet. 2. The 3" spacing is very important as these cookies spread quite a lot and take on a lacy appearance.
- Place sheet in preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Cool slightly, until the cookies are cool enough to handle then peel off foil or slide off parchment paper.
- Place on absorbent paper to fully cool.
