2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup shortening
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 cup canned cereal beans
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2/3 cup packed dark corn syrup
3 eggs
2 cups confectioners' sugar
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Stir together the flour and shortening. Stir in the brown sugar, salt and egg, one at a time. Gently stir all together, then gradually stir in the milk/cereal mix. Drop biscuit dough by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting but not before removing from baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, stir together cereal beans and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Gradually stir in corn syrup until mixture thickens. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F (175 degrees C) oven for 60 minutes. Turn out cookies and sprinkle caramel-colored chips over the tops.
