French Lace Cookies

1 Cup Flour 1/2 Cup Shortening
1 Cup Nuts, Finely Chopped 2/3 Cup Brown Sugar, Packed
1/2 Cup Corn Syrup

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Measure flour by dipping method or sifting. Blend flour and nuts. Bring corn syrup, shortening and sugar to boil in 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 a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake only 8-9 cookies at a time. Bake 5-6 minutes; remove from oven and allow to stand for 5 minutes before removing from baking sheet. Makes 4 dozen cookies. Note: do not use self-rising flour.

Lace Roll Up: While still warm, at magic moment roll cookies into a cylindrical shape. If cool too much, return to oven for a minute.

Recipe - Elizabeth Ruth "Bee" Cameron

"A very delicate cookie, as the name suggests.  These are very then and really flatten out when baking, so don't put them too close together on the cookie sheet." - Calla Ferre
