Grease baking sheets well with unsalted butter.

In heavy medium saucepan, combine butter, sugar and corn syrup. Stir well. Place over medium heat and bring to boil, uncovered, stirring just until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in flour, vanilla and nuts. Blend well.

Drop by scant teaspoonfuls onto prepared sheets 4 inches apart. Bake in preheated 325°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until set and lightly browned. Remove from oven.

Let cool on pans for 2 minutes, then remove to cool on waxed paper or finely meshed cooling racks. Cookies must cool perfectly flat.
