Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1/4 cup light corn syrup

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sliced almonds -- chopped

 

Preheat oven to 350°F and generously grease 2 large baking sheets.

 

Cook brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup in a 1-quart saucepan over moderate

heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove from

heat, then stir in flour and almonds.

 

Spoon scant tablespoons of batter 6 inches apart on baking sheets (4 cookies per

sheet) and bake 1 sheet at a time in middle of oven

until golden brown and bubbling, 6 to 8 minutes. (Cookies will spread to 5 to 6

inches.) Cool cookies on sheet 1 to 2 minutes.

Quickly but carefully remove cookies from sheet with a metal spatula and

transfer to a rack to cool completely. (If they become too

brittle to transfer, return baking sheet to oven for about 1 minute to allow

cookies to soften.)

 

Be sure to cool these cookies before transferring them to a rack - they are very

soft when they first come out of the oven and need

a moment to set.

 

Cooks' notes: Cookies keep in an airtight container 5 days.

 

If batter becomes too stiff to spoon easily, reheat over low heat 30 seconds.
