French Lace Cookies

325°F YIELD:
½ cup light corn syrup
¼ cup butter
¼ cup shortening
1 cup sifted flour
1 cup chopped nuts
2/3 cup brown sugar firmly packed

Combine corn syrup, butter, shortening and brown sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and remove immediately from the heat. Blend in flour and nuts gradually. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls on a greased baking sheet about 3” apart. Bake in a slow oven 325°F 8 to 10 minutes. Cool 1 minutes. Remove carefully with a spatula. Roll cookies immediately on a clothes pin while still hot. Can also be shaped like a cone. If cookies are cold and are hard to handle, put back in oven for a moment.
