Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1 ⅓ cups brown sugar
• 2 cups finely chopped pecans

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, corn syrup and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Toss together the flour and pecans and stir into the boiling mixture. Bring the mixture to a second boil before removing from heat. Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be at least 4 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 3

Bake for 5 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until evenly brown. If molding the cookies into shapes, allow to cool for a minute, until cool enough to handle, but still really hot.
