In the 1960's I found a recipe on the back of a McCormick spice can and it was for "Golden Nuggets" cookies. I've lost it due to several moves and would dearly love it if someone out there has the recipe, and would send me a copy. I'm 71 years old now and made those cookies as young girl on a wood stove. They were like shortbread, but not quite.
If they had chocolate in them this might be the one because it has chopped nuts in them and maybe that's where 'nuggets' comes in? You know, gold nuggets found in a pirates treasure chest? ;-)

Apparently someone else on the internet was looking for the same recipe a few years ago as per this link but I checked the archives and I guess no one wrote in with the recipe unfortunately.
