Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredients You'll Need
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter or magarine, melted
2 tablespoons light-color corn syrup
1/3 cup ground almonds
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Vanilla frozen yogurt
Fresh mint (optional)
Directions
For baskets, preheat oven to *350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with foil.
Grease the foil; set aside.
Stir together the brown sugar, butter or margarine, and corn syrup in a medium bowl.
Stir in almonds and flour until combined.
Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheet, baking only 2 or 3 at a time. Spread each to about 3 inches in diameter. (You should end up with 8 portions.)
Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until bubbly and deep golden brown.
Let stand 1 to 2 minutes or until set but still pliable.
Quickly shape into baskets by placing each inside a 6-ounce custard cup.
Cool completely in cups. (Do not bake more shells at a time than you have custard cups for them.)
To serve, fill almond baskets .
Top each with a small scoop of frozen yogurt.
If desired, garnish with mint.
Serve immeditely.
Make-ahead tip: Prepare the cookie baskets up to 1 week ahead and store in an
airtight container.
