Recipe for Golden Nugget Cookies?

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.

I don't know if these are at all shortbread-y but here are a couple of recipes by that name:

This one was under "Christmas Nuggets":

You could call or write the McCormick people and see if they have it still somewhere in their archives:

or try asking on their forum:

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.

My grandmother used to make cookies she called golden nuggets and she is about the same age. She never gave me he exact recipe, it was something she just knew by heart and made for us kids when we were very young. Recently I haven't been able to get them off my mind and I found through trial and error that they are a yellow cake cookie. I am still working to perfect the consistency, but you could always look up recipes starting from there that sound like what you used to make

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? ;-)
