- Pistachios and walnuts, plain or possibly salted (or possibly any combination)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a 1- or possibly 2-qt pan, heat butter over low heat. Add in corn syrup and brown sugar. Stir over high heat till boiling. Remove pan from heat and blend in flour and nuts.
- Grease and flour 12-by-15 or possibly 14-by-17 inch baking sheets (they must be flat, not warped). For each cookie, place 2 Tbsp. of nut mix about 8 inches apart on sheet. Put only 2 cookies on a pan at a time. (Note: You can also make the cookies smaller and put 3 or possibly 4 on each pan). With your fingers, push nuts apart into a 3- to 4 inch circle. Bake till cookies are a rich golden, about 19 min. If you have 2 pans in the oven, alternate positions at midpoint of baking to ensure even browning.
- Remove cookies from oven and let cold on pan till they hard up slightly, about 2 min. To test, slide a spatula under a corner of a cookie. If the cookie is stretchy, wait a few seconds longer. If it is hard, slide spatula under carefully and lift on to a rack to cold completely. If cookies get too hard and stick to pan, return to oven briefly to soften slightly.
- When cookies cold, serve or possibly immediately store them in an airtight rigid container. Cookies absorb moisture and lose crispness quickly. When stacking in container, separate layers with a sheet of wax paper to protect cookies from breaking and sticking together. Store at room temperature up to 1 week, or possibly freeze up to 1 month.
