How to Make Gg's Lace Cookies

  1. In the top of a double boiler, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ½ cup shortening, ½ cup light corn syrup, and 1 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over direct heat, stirring constantly.
  2. Remove from heat. Stir in 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended). Mix until well combined.
  3. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto a greased and foil-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  4. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
  5. Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. In a clean double boiler, melt 6 ounces of your favorite semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  7. Remove from heat and stir until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
  8. Once the cookies are completely cool, brush the bottom of one cookie with melted chocolate and top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
  9. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
