Steps:
- 1. 350 degrees
- 2. NUT FILLING......... Boil water and sugar, till ball forms in water or 225 degrees. Add Karo and nuts. Cook about 5 minutes. Sit aside to cool.
- 3. Cookie dough.... Mix together till crumbly, flour and butter, use your hands.
- 4. Add whipping cream, eggs, baking powder, sugar, vanilla and salt. Mix till it picks up itself. (smooth as a baby's bottom).
- 5. Roll out thin and cut into 3 inch squares. Put nut filling on the dough, not to much or it will make its way out of the cookie. Now roll the dough like a crescent roll. Then take the cookie and fold the ends in toward each other, it'll look like a shrimp.
- 6. Place on parchment paper on a cookie sheet. about an inch apart.(this will save you time if the filling comes out and bakes on sheet) Brush with egg white before putting in oven.

- 8. Remove from oven and roll in powder sugar. Store in plastic bag sealed.
