Ingredients - Cookies¶

0.33 cup dark corn syrup
0.25 lb unsalted butter, cut into pieces
0.5 cup granulated sugar
0.5 cup all-purpose flour

Ingredients - Whipped Cream¶

1 cup heavy cream
0.25 cup confectioners' sugar
1 Tbsp brandy
0.125 tsp salt
0.5 tsp vanilla

Cookware¶

1 baking sheets
1 electric mixer

Instructions - Cookies¶

Step 1¶

Put dark corn syrup, unsalted butter, cut into pieces and granulated sugar into heavy-bottomed pan. Heat mixture over low heat, stirring, until butter has melted and mixture is smooth. Don’t let mixture boil. Remove from heat and vigorously stir in all-purpose flour, beating until smooth. (Rotary beater will do this easily.)

Step 2¶

Drop batter by ½ teaspoons on greased baking sheets. Try doing only 5 cookies at a time, until you see how much they spread. Bake at 350°F until cookies turn nice medium caramel color, about 5 to 7 minutes. Cookies should spread into about 2.5 inch rounds, or little larger, and bubble.

Step 3¶

Remove from oven and cool until cookies are firm enough to lift off baking sheet with spatula. Roll with fingers or around clean broom handle into tubes about ¾ inch around.

Step 4¶

If cookies get too firm to manage, return to oven 1 to 2 minutes to soften. If batter in pan gets too stiff to use, heat, stirring, until melted enough to drop from teaspoon.
