Instructions

1. Cookies: Beat butter and brown sugar in large bowl until fluffy. Add corn syrup and egg; mix well.
2. Place 1 cup cinnamon chips in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH (100%) 1 minute; stir. If necessary, microwave at HIGH an additional 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, just until chips are melted when stirred. Stir melted chips into butter mixture.

4. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
5. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in nuts, lightly pressing nuts into dough. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
6. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden around edges.
7. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
8. Drizzle with Cinnamon Chips Drizzle.
9. Cinnamon Chips Drizzle: Place remaining 2/3 cup cinnamon chips and 1 1/2 teaspoons shortening (do not use butter, margarine, spread or oil) in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH (100%) 1 minute; stir until chips are melted and mixture is smooth.
